Biceps Smash Technique: Biceps Tendon Autograft Augmentation for Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT: The proportion of postoperative retears after arthroscopic rotator cuff reconstruction remains constant despite advancement of suture techniques and improved anchor implants. The commonly degenerative nature of rotator cuff tears can carry the risk of compromised tissue. Several techniques have been developed to biologically enhance rotator cuff repair, and a considerable number of autologous, allogeneic, and xenogenous augmentation methods have been described. This article introduces the biceps smash technique, an arthroscopic augmentation procedure for posterosuperior rotator cuff reconstruction using an autograft patch of the long head of the biceps tendon.

Free biceps tendon autograft to augment arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Project description:Arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs have become the standard of treatment for all sizes of tears over the past several years. Current healing rates reported in the literature are quite good, but improving the healing potential of rotator cuff repairs remains a challenging problem. There has been an increase recently in the use of augmentation of rotator cuff repairs with xenografts or synthetics for large and massive tears. Biceps tenodesis is often indicated as part of the treatment plan while one is performing rotator cuff surgery. A subpectoral biceps tenodesis provides a source of autograft to augment rotator cuff repairs of all sizes. Two techniques are presented to augment rotator cuff repairs with a free biceps tendon autograft. This is a novel idea in an attempt to improve healing rates and long-term results of rotator cuff repairs of all sizes.

Rotator Cuff Anterior Cable Reconstruction With Long Head of Biceps Tendon Autograft.

Project description:Rotator cuff tears with anterior cable disruption show a more detrimental natural history than tears with an intact cable. Anterior cable reconstruction in the setting of such tears provides a potential avenue to improve tissue quality of the repaired construct and enhance repair longevity. Cadaveric studies investigating anterior cable reconstruction have shown biomechanical advantages. We present an arthroscopic surgical technique for rotator cuff anterior cable reconstruction using long head of the biceps tendon autograft in the setting of repairable large-to-massive rotator cuff tears with poor anterior cable tissue quality.

Using the Long Head of Biceps Tendon Autograft as an Anatomical Reconstruction of the Rotator Cable: An Arthroscopic Technique for Patients With Massive Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:The treatment of massive rotator cuff tears (MRCT) is challenging. Insufficient tissue quality, size, and retraction of the cuff often lead to failures of repair. Different techniques like direct repair, partial repair, and graft applications have been developed, but results are not yet predictable. In this arthroscopic technique the objective is not to reconstruct the rotator cuff as a tissue layer but to restore the biomechanical function of the rotator cable with an autograft of the long head of the biceps tendon. After glenohumeral inspection, the long head of the biceps tendon is harvested and the retracted cuff is released and, if possible, closed partially side-to-side. The biceps graft is positioned from the posterior aspect of the greater tubercle to the superior part of the lesser tubercle and fixed with 2 biotenodesis anchors. Finally, the cuff remnants are securely sutured to the biceps graft with standard cuff repair sutures. This arthroscopic technique has several advantages because the biceps autograft is easily harvested, autologous, and rich in collagen. Previous studies show use of the biceps tendon differently for reconstruction of the rotator cuff, with promising results. Future studies are needed to evaluate clinical outcomes.

Arthroscopic Double-Row Rotator Cuff Repair With Biceps Augmentation.

Project description:Arthroscopic repair of chronic retracted rotator cuff tears remains challenging to shoulder arthroscopy surgeons. With the recent technical advances, most of the massive rotator cuff tears are managed successfully. The biceps tendon is highly vascular and a rich source of tenocytes and fibroblasts, which can promote biological healing. In massive degenerate rotator cuff tears in which the rotator cuff tissue can be released and fixed onto the footprint without much tissue tension, long head of the biceps tendon can act as an augment providing structural support to the poor-quality rotator cuff tissue and also enhancing the healing process. In this Technical Note, we describe arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using biceps augmentation for a massive degenerate rotator cuff tear with the excursion of the cuff onto the footprint with minimal tissue tension.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction With Biceps Autograft: Snake Technique.

Project description:Many options have been developed to treat irreparable massive cuff tears. Superior capsular reconstruction has been reported as one of the treatment options for relatively young patients with irreparable massive cuff tear. However, this original technique has a disadvantage of requiring a tensor facia lata autograft. It requires another incision at the lateral thigh and can be a cause of thigh pain. This article describes our modified technique for arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction using the biceps autograft to preserve the long head of the biceps tendon anchors to the glenoid labrum (the snake technique).

An augmentation suture technique for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Project description:The double-row suture technique and the suture-bridge technique have been used for rotator cuff repair to decrease the occurrence of retears. However, when only the degenerated tendon end is sutured, the risk of retear remains. The augmentation suture technique is a new procedure that connects the intact medial tendon to the lateral greater tuberosity, and this approach may protect the initial repair site. The procedures for this technique are as follows: 2 sutures are placed through the medial intact tendon, the cuff tear is repaired by the single-row technique, 2 sutures are pulled laterally over the single-row repair site, and 2 sutures are fixed at the lateral greater tuberosity with a push-in-type anchor. This technique is simple and easy and does not require special equipment. Moreover, this approach can augment the single-row repair technique without creating high tension at the cuff end.

Arthroscopic Biological Augmentation for Massive Rotator Cuff Tears: The Biceps-Cuff-Bursa Composite Repair.

Project description:Surgical repair of massive and chronic rotator cuff tears is difficult due to tendon retraction and severe atrophy, and the resultant retear rate in the structurally weak tendons is high. Commercially available patches and bioinductive scaffolds have been used to provide strength and superior healing environment in partial and complete rotator cuff tears. Biological biceps autograft has been used for superior capsular reconstruction, and the subacromial bursa has been shown to have significant pluripotent stem cell potency for tendon healing. We describe our technique for combined use of the long biceps tendon (LBT) and vasculature-preserved subacromial bursa as autografts in rotator cuff repair augmentation. The technique involves obtaining a LBT graft of sufficient length using a "traction and tenodesis" technique. The subacromial bursa is mobilized as a continuous layer (vascular bursal duvet) by maintaining its medial and lateral vascularity. All-suture anchors are used to minimize the insertion apertures (3 mm) in tuberosity. The bursa is advanced laterally, and the mobilized cuff is repaired together as a biceps-cuff-bursa composite unit. Combined use of the biceps and bursa as biological autografts has the advantage of structural and regenerative augmentation, and the autografts are easily accessible without added cost.

Superior Capsular Reconstruction With Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair in a "Functional Biologic Augmentation" Technique to Treat Massive Atrophic Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Surgical treatment of patients with massive rotator cuff tears is unpredictable because of a low healing rate and high incidence of clinical failure. Arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction has emerged as a promising technique in treating younger, active patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. Superior capsular insufficiency has been theorized to be a factor in the higher failure rate for repairs of massive tears, and there have been proposals of superior capsular repair in addition to rotator cuff repair to facilitate better healing of massive rotator cuff tears. This article presents our technique of functional rotator cuff augmentation, which is concomitant superior capsular reconstruction with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, to treat massive, atrophic rotator cuff tears. This technique is used in patients with massive rotator cuff tears and superior capsular insufficiency.

Rotator Cuff Repair with Knotless All-Suture Medial Row Anchors and Biceps Autograft Augmentation.

Project description:Incomplete healing and/or functional failure following rotator cuff tear repair remains a challenging problem for both patients and surgeons. Augmentation strategies are growing to increase healing through biologic and mechanical mechanisms to improve functional results after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The majority of currently described augmentation techniques use allograft tissue. An alternative, low-cost, autograft option for augmentation is the use of the long head of biceps tendon autograft as a free functional graft. Here, we describe the use of autograft biceps tendon as a viable option for augmentation of double-row rotator cuff repair with knotless all-suture suture anchors.
