Physeal-Sparing Transosseous-Equivalent Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.

ABSTRACT: Rotator cuff injuries in the skeletally immature population are uncommon, with most tears resulting from trauma or overuse in throwing athletes. Although the literature has referenced multiple repair methods in the pediatric population, an arthroscopic physeal-sparing technique has yet to be described. Given the proximity of the proximal humerus growth plate to the typical anchor placement during rotator cuff repair, we advocate a technique that avoids violation of the proximal humeral physis. Our technique shows an arthroscopic physeal-sparing repair using standard arthroscopic equipment and fluoroscopy.

Arthroscopic transosseous-equivalent rotator cuff repair.

Project description:Rotator cuff repair techniques continue to evolve in an effort to improve repair biomechanics, maximize the biologic environment for tendon healing, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. The arthroscopic transosseous-equivalent technique was developed to replicate the favorable tendon-bone contact area for healing seen in open transosseous tunnel repair. In this technical note and accompanying video, we present our all-arthroscopic transosseous-equivalent rotator cuff repair technique with a focus on technical pearls.

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.

Rotator Cuff Sparing Arthroscopic SLAP Repair With Knotless All-Suture Anchors.

Project description:Arthroscopic repair of SLAP tears is a common shoulder procedure, especially in overhead athletes. Repair techniques have evolved over the last 20 years, and the optimal technique remains elusive. In many cases, a transrotator cuff portal placed lateral to the acromion is used to access the superior glenoid. However, violating the rotator cuff is not desirable in an overhead athlete, and this approach can be associated with an increased risk of postoperative morbidity. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred surgical technique with a rotator cuff-sparing approach for arthroscopic SLAP repair with all-suture anchors.

Arthroscopic Knotless Separate Layer Transosseous Equivalent Repair of Delaminated Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Delamination of rotator cuff tears presents a challenge for surgeons. Recognizing and repairing such a complex tear pattern often require innovative approaches to achieve an anatomic restoration of footprint. In this Technical Note, we described our preferred method that anatomically repairs both layers of delaminated rotator cuff tear separately in a knotless transosseous equivalent technique. Two sutures are placed to the articular layer in a cinch stitch configuration. Then, closed-loop end sutures are passed through both layers while keeping the closed-loop end at the working portal. The free ends of cinch stitches are loaded to anchors with a preloaded fiber tape loop, which is placed to the medial row while approximating the articular layer onto its footprint. Fiber tapes are then shuttled through both layers of tendon with the help of a previously placed closed-loop suture. Finally, the lateral row anchors are placed while fiber tapes are tensioned in a cross-bridge configuration. We believe that this technique may facilitate uneventful healing of delaminated rotator cuffs by providing the biomechanical properties of transosseous equivalent repair.

Transtendon, double-row, transosseous-equivalent arthroscopic repair of partial-thickness, articular-surface rotator cuff tears.

Project description:Arthroscopic transtendinous techniques for the arthroscopic repair of partial-thickness, articular-surface rotator cuff tears offer the advantage of minimizing the disruption of the patient's remaining rotator cuff tendon fibers. In addition, double-row fixation of full-thickness rotator cuff tears has shown biomechanical advantages. We present a novel method combining these 2 techniques for transtendon, double-row, transosseous-equivalent arthroscopic repair of partial-thickness, articular-surface rotator cuff tears. Direct visualization of the reduction of the retracted articular tendon layer to its insertion on the greater tuberosity is the key to the procedure. Linking the medial-row anchors and using a double-row construct provide a stable repair that allows early shoulder motion to minimize the risk of postoperative stiffness.

All-Intra-articular Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:This Technical Note presents an arthroscopic technique to repair rotator cuff tears using a constant intra-articular (glenohumeral) portal for visualization. The smoothness of both the humeral head cartilage and the articular side of the rotator cuff offers a cleaner arthroscopic approach, while the absence of a subacromial bursa also reduces bleeding, turbidity, and the need for iterative soft tissue debridement. It also facilitates the recognition and repair of certain tear patterns. The intra-articular perspective allows the surgeon to visualize how stitches pierce the tissue in a desired and resistant area of the tendon. During knot tying, instead of watching the knot compressing against the bursal side of the tendon, the surgeon monitors how the articular side of the tendon is compressed and attached against the footprint while pushing the knot until the desired level of reduction is achieved.

Arthroscopic Laminar Spreader for Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair can be challenging and requires adequate visualization and space. However, the narrow subacromial space can make difficult to perform tendon release and repair under arthroscopy. Inadequate visualization may lead to inaccurate suture placement, compromising the reduction and fixation of the repaired rotator cuff tendons. Manual or mechanical distraction (using an arm positioner) can be used to increase the working space. However, consistent distraction is very difficult to maintain manually over time due to fatigue, whereas mechanical distraction may overstretch the brachial plexus. To overcome these difficulties, we describe a technique using a specific laminar spreader for subacromial distraction during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The arthroscopic laminar spreader, inserted into the subacromial space, is used to distract the humeral head inferiorly from the acromion, improving subacromial space visualization and enabling easily rotator cuff release and repair. The shoulder distraction device improves the surgeon's performance without surgical assistance and allows reducing the operative time with safety. It can be also used anteriorly (to repair the subscapularis) or posteriorly (to repair the infraspinatus and teres minor) or to perform other procedures like superior capsular reconstruction or additional patch.

Arthroscopic, Needle-Based, Transosseous Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:Although open transosseous repair was historically used as a gold-standard surgical solution for rotator cuff tears, this procedure was largely replaced by anchor-based techniques because of the advancement of arthroscopic surgery. However, the ability of anchor-based repair to achieve similar biomechanical fixation remains uncertain. Despite the proposals of numerous methods over the last decade, there remains demand for a standard, reliable technique that integrates the biomechanical advantages of transosseous fixation within the realm of arthroscopy. We describe a technique for transosseous rotator cuff repair using the Omnicuff, a needle-based transosseous suture-passing device that minimizes the risk of failure of suture passage between the bone tunnels. With potential advantages of this design including automated-assisted suture passage, improved bone-tendon healing, and anchorless fixation, surgeons may be inclined to consider these biomechanical and cost-saving benefits. Future studies are warranted to determine clinical outcomes of this technique and its suitability for tears of varying degrees and patterns.

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair With Concomitant Capsular Release.

Project description:Patients with rotator cuff tears may present with or subsequently develop concomitant shoulder stiffness. The treatment of rotator cuff tears in the face of passive glenohumeral motion loss is controversial. Preoperative shoulder stiffness has been considered by some a contraindication to rotator cuff repair. Some surgeons recommend staging surgical procedures and delaying rotator cuff repair until shoulder stiffness has resolved. However, this can lead to prolonged recovery times and patient dissatisfaction. We describe a surgical technique that allows for the single-stage arthroscopic management of rotator cuff tears with associated adhesive capsulitis. Arthroscopic capsular release and shoulder manipulation are performed in the same operative setting as arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. We have found that this combined, single-stage arthroscopic approach can effectively treat patients with rotator cuff tears and concomitant shoulder stiffness.
