Arthroscopic Biologic Interpositional Tuberosity Graft for the Treatment of Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

ABSTRACT: Massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears in younger, more active patients present a unique treatment challenge to shoulder surgeons. In the past few years, new techniques continue to emerge to address this challenging problem. The superior capsular reconstruction technique has been accepted as an option for addressing this problem. While initial results are encouraging, pitfalls remain regarding technical challenges, healing and protracted rehabilitation due to delayed motion protocols. We present an alternative approach to the massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears using a biologic interpositional humeral -based graft.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsule Reconstruction for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears in young patients are a particular challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. Surgical treatment options include debridement, partial rotator cuff repair, patch-augmented rotator cuff repair, bridging rotator cuff reconstruction with graft interposition, tendon transfer, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Recently, reconstruction of the superior glenohumeral capsule using a fascia lata autograft has been suggested to reduce superior glenohumeral translation and restore superior stability. Promising clinical results have been reported in 1 case series of 23 patients, indicating that superior capsular reconstruction may be a promising tool to manage massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. This article describes our preferred technique for arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction for Treatment of Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears have been troublesome entities to treat, especially in younger patients. Few good options exist, leaving most patients in recent years receiving a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty carries serious risks, a limited lifespan, and no other viable options should it fail. Recent biomechanical studies have shown that the superior capsule is critical to containing the glenohumeral joint reduced, allowing the larger muscles like the deltoid and pectoralis major to function properly. The superior capsular reconstruction is an anatomic reconstruction of the superior capsule to restore the normal restraint to superior translation that occurs with a deficient rotator cuff. The technique described in this article is an arthroscopic reconstruction of the superior capsule with dermal allograft.

Arthroscopic Middle Trapezius Transfer for Treatment of Irreparable Superior Rotator Cuff Tendon Tears.

Project description:Irreparable supraspinatus tendon tears are challenging to treat, especially in a young and high-demanding patient population. Whereas interposition tendon grafting and partial repair are limited by the quality of the remaining rotator cuff tendons and muscles, superior capsular reconstruction and subacromial spacers do not provide the active biomechanical principle of a contracting supraspinatus. The purpose of this technical note is to introduce an arthroscopic middle trapezius transfer below the acromion to replace the former supraspinatus unit. This technique might combine the benefits of both the static concepts seen with subacromial spacers or superior capsular reconstruction and dynamic concepts such as interposition grafting and partial repairs.

Arthroscopic Single-Row Superior Capsular Reconstruction for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears are challenging to manage. Often, these tears are not amenable to primary repair and necessitate additional treatment options. This is especially true in patients with absent glenohumeral arthritis in the setting of a massive, irreparable rotator cuff tear. Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR), originally described by Mihata using a fascia lata autograft, has grown in popularity for the treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tears as a salvage option with good clinical outcomes. More recently, SCR techniques have been described using dermal allograft. Biomechanical studies and reported clinical series show promising results, with favorable postoperative clinical outcomes. The procedure, however, may be technically challenging, especially when performed using an all-arthroscopic technique. This article describes an all-arthroscopic technique using a predetermined graft size, unique medial fixation to ease graft passage, and knotless single-row lateral fixation to optimize suture management and efficiency.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction Using "Sandwich" Patch Technique for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:The technique of superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) using fascia lata autograft, described by Mihata et al. in 2012, has been an acceptable and effective method for treating irreparable massive rotator cuff tears, especially in cases with severe fatty infiltration and tendon retraction. After the SCR procedure of Mihata et al., it was found that some graft failure occurred with thinning and elongation during the follow-up time, which was called graft "creep." To avoid graft creep and reduce graft failure rates after SCR, we created an arthroscopic SCR technique with a "sandwich" patch augmented with polyethylene terephthalate scaffold interspaced between 2 folded layers of fascia lata autograft.

Arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears using extracellular matrix graft.

Project description:Despite advances in surgical technology, as well as generally good outcomes, repairs of full-thickness rotator cuff tears show a retear rate of 25% to 57% and may fail to provide full return of function. The repairs tend to fail at the suture-tendon junction, which is due to several factors, including tension at the repair site, quality of the tendon, and defective tissue repair. One strategy to augment repair of large to massive rotator cuff tears is the development of biological scaffold materials, composed of extracellular matrix (ECM). The goal is to strengthen and evenly distribute the mechanical load across the repair site, thus minimizing the rupture risk of the native tendon while providing the biological elements needed for healing. The promising results of ECM-derived materials and their commercial availability have increased their popularity among shoulder surgeons. In contrast to a traditional open or arthroscopically assisted mini-open approach, this completely arthroscopic technique offers the full advantages warranted by the use of a minimally invasive approach. This technical guide describes arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using an ECM graft technique.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction With Acellular Porcine Dermal Xenograft for the Treatment of Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Purpose:To evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes and the complications related to arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) with acellular porcine dermal xenograft for the treatment of irreparable massive rotator cuff tears. Methods:A prospective observational study of patients treated with arthroscopic SCR for irreparable massive rotator cuff tears in the period from 2016 to 2017 was performed. Range of motion and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) scores were assessed preoperatively, at 6 months postoperatively, and at 12 months postoperatively. Results:A total of 20 shoulders in 19 patients, with an average age of 60 years, were included in the study. Twelve patients met the criterion for the minimal clinically important difference in the SPADI score. The mean SPADI score showed significant improvement from 51.3% to 10.4% at 1-year follow-up. Active abduction improved from 65.4° to 149.3° and active forward flexion improved from 68.6° to 151.4° at 1-year follow-up. The procedure had a 30% complication rate, including a 15% rate of immunologic rejection of the xenograft. Five patients underwent revision procedures, including arthroscopic debridement and removal of xenograft residuals, implantation of a balloon spacer, and revision SCR with a fascia lata autograft. Conclusions:Arthroscopic SCR with an acellular porcine dermal xenograft led to a successful outcome in 60% of cases. The procedure showed a quite high complication rate; the most severe cases were related to acute immunologic rejection of the xenograft. Level of Evidence:Level IV, case series.

Combined Fully Arthroscopic Transfer of Latissimus Dorsi and Teres Major for Treatment of Irreparable Posterosuperior Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Many treatment options have been proposed for treatment of irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears. Among these options, latissimus dorsi tendon transfer can be considered a good alternative, especially in young patients before development of glenohumeral arthritic changes, aiming at rebalancing the shoulder with a functioning subscapularis muscle and restoring both active external rotation and elevation with the aid of a properly functioning deltoid muscle. The technique was recently adapted from open to arthroscopically assisted with numerous advantages. We propose a combined fully arthroscopic technique for transfer of latissimus dorsi and teres major in which the tendons are fixed in a flat manner at the junction of supraspinatus and infraspinatus to decrease failure rate.

Use of an Arthroscopic Bridging Graft for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears With the Modified Mason-Allen Stitch Using a Tendon Autograft.

Project description:We describe a technique for treating irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCTs) by bridging grafts with a long tendon autograft. In this technique, the plantaris tendon is harvested and prepared in a Y-shaped graft. The folded end of the graft is anchored to the greater tubercle and the other 2 limbs are fixed to rotator cuff tissue using modified Mason-Allen stitches. The autograft can decrease the tension on the repair of irreparable RCTs and has biological superiority. Our clinical experience indicates this technique will bring superior integrity to irreparable RCT repairs.
