Arthroscopic Transosseous Anchorless Rotator Cuff Repair Using the X-Box Technique.

ABSTRACT: We describe a reproducible, step-by-step arthroscopic technique for anchorless transosseous rotator cuff repair using an X-box configuration with the Arthrotunneler device. The technique uses 2 bone tunnels and 4 high-strength sutures and is suitable for medium to large tears of the supra- and infraspinatus that would alternatively need a double-row repair with 4 anchors. Biomechanically, results appear to be similar as for anchored transosseous equivalent techniques. Enhanced biological healing and lower material costs are the possible benefits of this appealing arthroscopic approach that mimics the previous gold standard.

Surgical Technique of Arthroscopic Transosseous Implant-Less Rotator Cuff Repair Using "Arthrocuff" System.

Project description:Rotator cuff tears remain one of the most common causes of shoulder pain and disability. Although many repair techniques like single-row, double-row, and transosseous equivalent repair have become popular, transosseous repair still remains the gold standard. Arthroscopic transosseous repair is a safe and affordable alternative to suture anchors. Considering this fact, a reusable instrumentation "ArthroCuff", was developed by SpowerN Medical Equipment (Chennai, India) in collaboration with the National Hub for Healthcare Device Development, India. Arthrocuff system not only aids a robust transosseous rotator cuff repair, but it is also cost-effective. We present the video technique of Arthrocuff for rotator cuff repair.

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, 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 Anchorless Transosseous Rotator Cuff Repair Produces Equivalent Clinical Outcomes and Imaging Results as a Standard Suture Bridge Technique with Anchors.

Project description:PurposeTo compare the clinical and imaging outcome of arthroscopic transosseous (TO)-equivalent rotator cuff repair (RCR) with anchors with arthroscopic anchorless TO RCR at a minimum of 2 years postoperatively.MethodsThe study population included patients who underwent RCR using either an anchorless TO technique with a TO suture passing device (group A) and those who were matched for tear size and underwent RCR using suture anchors for repair (group B). The inclusion criterion was an easily reducible rotator cuff tear with a sagittal extension of 2 to 4 cm. After a minimum of 2 years, clinical outcome scores and magnetic resonance imaging were obtained. Tendon quality and footprint integration were evaluated using the Sugaya classification.ResultsSeventy patients were included. A total of 45 were in group A and 25 were in group B. Group A had 2 bone tunnels and 4 sutures using an X-box configuration, and group B had a suture bridge construct of 4 anchors. Group A and B had identical anteroposterior tear size and were comparable for age. The Constant score improved from 50 ± 17.4 to 88 ± 8.6 in group A versus 48 ± 14.5 to 87 ± 7.2 in B. The Subjective Shoulder Value rose from 47 ± 19.1 to 95 ± 7.4 in group A vs from 47 ± 19.4 to 95 ± 7.6 in B. Neither the preoperative (P ≥ .502) nor postoperative scores (P ≥ .29) showed a significant difference. Magnetic resonance imaging showed 2 small retears in group A and one in B, resulting in an identical 4% retear rate. The mean Sugaya type was 2.02 versus 2.24 (P = .206) for groups A versus B.ConclusionsAnchorless TO RCR is a valid alternative to suture anchor techniques. Clinical outcome data showed comparable results for both techniques after a follow-up of 2 years. The healing results as observed on magnetic resonance imaging were also equivalent for both groups.Level of evidenceLevel III, retrospective comparative study.

Physeal-Sparing Transosseous-Equivalent Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description: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.

Tripod Technique to Augment Transosseous Equivalent Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:The transosseous-equivalent Speedbridge™ technique is commonly used during rotator cuff repair; however, the soft bone of the lateral humerus may result in toggling of the lateral row anchors with subsequent de-tensioning of the repair. The technique presented here uses an additional third-row anchor, in a tripod fashion, that reduces the forces on the lateral humerus anchors and protects the repair.

Rotator Cuff Repair Technique With Transosseous Knotless Anchor System.

Project description:Various surgical techniques exist for rotator cuff repair that provide a suitable environment for tendon-bone healing. Arthroscopic recreation of transosseous repairs, which had previously been performed by open or miniopen techniques, can now be performed; however, arthroscopic, transosseous passage of suture material can be challenging technically. There are potential biologic and cost-saving advantages of arthroscopic transosseous rotator cuff repair that make an efficient and reproducible technique desirable for arthroscopists. The technique for arthroscopic transosseous rotator cuff repair using a knotless anchor-based system is demonstrated in the current Technical Note. Potential advantages of this construct include excellent biomechanics, enhanced footprint vascularization, and utility in poor bone quality while using minimal anchor numbers. Further studies will be needed to elucidate healing rates and clinical outcomes.

Arthroscopic Transosseous Repair of Rotator Cuff Tear and Greater Tuberosity Cysts.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the short-term outcomes of rotator cuff repair in the presence of a greater tuberosity cyst (GTC) using a transosseous repair technique.MethodsThis study included patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff tear repair with a transosseous technique and were evaluated clinically and by postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after 1 year. The inclusion criteria were based on the results of preoperative MRI and were as follows: patients identified as having a repairable full-thickness rotator cuff tear associated with the presence of cystic changes at the tendon insertion site of the greater tuberosity, defined as a GTC involving the footprint area of the torn tendon (supraspinatus and/or infraspinatus tendons).ResultsWe evaluated 25 patients. The mean preoperative and postoperative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores were 39.48 (P = .530) and 84.64 (P = .035), respectively; Constant shoulder scores, 38.96 (P < .005) and 80.28 (P = .425), respectively; and University of California-Los Angeles shoulder rating scale scores, 10.6 (P = .045) and 29.04 (P = .315), respectively. The GTC mapping system was easily adopted in all the MRI examinations independently from the quality of the images. The GTCs were mostly located in the superficial anterolateral section of the humeral head and in both the posterolateral sections (superficial and deep).ConclusionsArthroscopic transosseous rotator cuff repair led to significant mid-term improvement and satisfactory subjective outcomes with low complication and failure rates in this study. The GTC mapping system could be useful to evaluate GTCs and to aid surgeons in the choice of the best surgical technique.Level of evidenceLevel IV, therapeutic case series.

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Tear Transosseous Repair System: The Sharc-FT Using the Taylor Stitcher.

Project description:Transosseous rotator cuff tear repair was first described in 1944. Over the years, it has represented the gold standard for such lesions. Through open and mini-open approaches, as well as the arthroscopic approach, the transosseous repair system represents one of the most reliable surgical techniques from a biological and mechanical perspective. Nevertheless, further improvements are required. This article describes an arthroscopic rotator cuff tear transosseous repair system, developed in collaboration with NCS Lab (Carpi, Italy): the Sharc-FT using the Taylor Stitcher. Our first experience in the clinical application of the arthroscopic technique using the transosseous suture system has shown encouraging clinical outcomes, confirming its efficacy. The patient satisfaction rate was high, and no patient expressed concern about the implant. The complication rate was very low. By improving the suture technique in the treatment of rotator cuff tears, a remarkable increase in the success rate in the treatment of this pathology could be reached; nevertheless, complications such as retears of the rotator cuff still occur.
