Subscapularis Tendon Repair Using Suture Bridge Technique.

ABSTRACT: The subscapularis tendon plays an essential role in shoulder function. Although subscapularis tendon tears are less common than other rotator cuff tears, tears of the subscapularis tendon have increasingly been recognized with the advent of magnetic resonance imaging and arthroscopy. A suture bridge technique for the treatment of posterosuperior rotator cuff tears has provided the opportunity to improve the pressurized contact area and mean footprint pressure. However, suture bridge fixation of subscapularis tendon tears appears to be technically challenging. We describe an arthroscopic surgical technique for suture bridge repair of subscapularis tendon tears that obtains ideal cuff integrity and footprint restoration. Surgery using such a suture bridge technique is indicated for large tears, such as tears involving the entire first facet or more, tears with a disrupted lateral sling, and combined medium to large supraspinatus/infraspinatus tears.

Knotless Arthroscopic Repair of Subscapularis Tendon Tears Using Looped Suture.

Project description:Subscapularis tendon tears present a technical challenge because both diagnosis and arthroscopic treatment can be difficult. One difficulty is the limited visualization and working space of the anterior shoulder. Although most tears of the subscapularis are partial- or full-thickness tears of the upper third of the tendon, occasionally, larger or more retracted tears are encountered. Various techniques have been developed to treat a wide variety of tear patterns. We present a simple technique using a looped suture that remains easy to use in the limited working space of the anterior shoulder; can be easily modified to accommodate a broad spectrum of subscapularis pathology, from partial to full and retracted tears; and uses familiar viewing and working portals. This technique creates a single-row, knotless repair. Traction on the superior suture improves visualization and ease of passing more inferior sutures. Risks include unintentional over-tensioning of the repair and medialization of the femoral footprint, which can be avoided with appropriate exposure and arm positioning during repair. Postoperative care includes restriction of external rotation for 3 to 6 weeks and strengthening at 3 months.

Single Portal Technique for Subscapularis Tendon Repair.

Project description:The fast and steady development of arthroscopy techniques in the last couple of decades led to a drastic increase of arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs over the open procedure. Supraspinatus tears are the most common of all, but the subscapularis tendon tear is a more common injury than expected. Most of the time it presents as a partial tear or is associated with a subsequent rotator cuff tendon injury, especially the supraspinatus. Nowadays, the standard procedure to repair the subscapularis tendon is performed arthroscopically, even though a real superior result over the open repair it is yet to be reported. Ideally less operative time, less scarring, and postoperative pain would be the expected benefits, but no study has compared the long-term outcome of these 2 procedures yet. To maximize possible improvements, we would like to present an arthroscopic technique: a subscapularis tendon repair performed with the aid of an angled suture passer and using a single anterior working portal.

Subscapularis repair with the suture shuttle loop technique.

Project description:Successful techniques for arthroscopic repair of subscapularis tendon tears have been previously described in the literature. Recommendations regarding portal placement, tissue mobilization, and suture passage have been published. We present a novel technique that uses a shuttle suture passed with the Viper suture passer (Arthrex, Naples, FL) through a standard anterior arthroscopy portal. The described technique easily passes a suture through the subscapularis tendon while the surgeon visualizes suture placement from the posterior portal.

Arthroscopic Suture-Bridge Repair of the Subscapularis Tendon-"Inside and Outside the Box" With Preservation of the Comma Sign.

Project description:The subscapularis muscle and its tendon are of major importance in the kinematics of the glenohumeral joint. Therefore, a diligent repair of subscapularis tears is essential. We describe our reliable standardized arthroscopic suture bridge technique to repair subscapularis tears under intra- and extraarticular visualization and with preservation of the "comma sign." This technique provides excellent exposure of the subscapularis tendon, allows its complete release in the subcoracoid space and ensures a safe and stable repair.

Arthroscopic Subscapularis Tendon Repair Using the Lasso-Loop Technique Through Anterolateral Viewing Portal.

Project description:The subscapularis is the strongest muscle among the rotator cuff muscles, and it provides a coupled balanced force across the glenohumeral joint by resisting the infraspinatus in axial plane and the shearing force of deltoid in the coronal plane. It is important to repair subscapularis tears to maintain the coupled balanced force. Subscapularis tendon tears are difficult to diagnose and treat. Only a small portion of the subscapularis tendon is visualized during routine arthroscopy, as it is largely covered by the middle and inferior glenohumeral ligaments. Various repair techniques have been described in the literature. Here, we describe the anterolateral viewing portal for better visualization of subscapularis and our preferred technique, the lasso-loop technique, which provides better tissue grip and improved functional outcome.

Arthroscopic Double-Pulley Suture-Bridge Repair of Supraspinatus Tendon Tear.

Project description:At present, the suture bridge is a widely used surgical pattern in the treatment of supraspinatus tendon tear, but the shortcomings of a suture bridge, including expensive lateral-row anchor and increased type 2 retear rate, is obvious. The double-pulley suture-bridge described in this Technical Note uses a double-loaded suture anchor (medial-row anchor) as lateral-row anchor instead of traditional lateral-row anchor, combined with double-pulley technology forming suture-bridge in treatment of supraspinatus tendon tears. The surgical technique is described in pearls, pitfalls, advantages, and disadvantages.

Bridge Tenodesis: A Secure Fixation Technique for Biceps Long Head Tendinopathy During Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair Using a Suture-Bridge Technique.

Project description:Tendinopathy of the long head of the biceps is often found as an intra-articular pathology in the glenohumeral joint. Because long head of the biceps lesions are common, surgical intervention to properly manage the long head of the biceps has become an important issue. Both tenodesis and tenotomy have been shown to provide benefits in biceps long head tendinopathy. But because of concerns about muscle power reduction, cramping, and "Popeye's deformity," which may result from biceps tenotomy, biceps tenodesis is a good option for treating biceps lesions. Here, we describe a time-saving, simple, and secure biceps tenodesis method during rotator cuff repairs, which is a combination of an adjacent soft-tissue tenodesis and a bony suprapectoral tenodesis, by performing a combined tenodesis (soft + bony), and we believe that the shoulder joint will gain more strength and loosening complications will be reduced.

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: Double-Row Transosseous Equivalent Suture Bridge Technique.

Project description:Following a failed course of conservative management, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) has become the gold standard treatment for patients presenting with symptomatic rotator cuff (RC) tears. Traditionally, the single-row repair technique was used. Although most patients enjoy good to excellent clinical outcomes, structural healing to bone remains problematic. As a result, orthopaedic surgeons have sought to improve outcomes with various technological and technical advancements. One such possible advancement is the double-row technique. We present a method for repairing an RC tear using double-row suture anchors in a transosseous equivalent suture bridge technique. The double-row technique is believed to more effectively re-create the anatomic footprint of the tendon, as well as increase tendon to bone surface area, and apposition for healing. However, it requires longer operating times and is costlier. This report highlights this technique for ARCR in an adult by using a double-row transosseous equivalent suture bridge.

Arthroscopic Single-Portal Subscapularis Tendon Repair.

Project description:Tears of the subscapularis tendon can be challenging to diagnose and treat. Because the subscapularis plays an important role in shoulder function, careful arthroscopic evaluation and treatment are necessary to restore function. Previous surgical techniques have ranged from full open repairs to complex arthroscopic procedures needing suture passer and/or retriever devices. We describe an arthroscopic surgical technique of subscapularis repair through a single anterior portal using only penetrating graspers. This approach can be used for partial upper-border subscapularis tears, as well as complete and retracted subscapularis tendon tears.
