Arthroscopic Subscapularis Repair Using a Subacromial View.

ABSTRACT: As a result of the continued improvement in arthroscopic equipment and techniques, subscapularis tears are now more reliably identified and are being repaired at higher rates than previously reported. Whereas small upper-border subscapularis tears can usually be effectively managed using an intra-articular view, larger tears often cannot be fully visualized with a standard 30° arthroscope when viewed from the posterior portal. These tears may require either using a 70° arthroscope or viewing through the standard 30° arthroscope from a subacromial portal-site location to completely visualize the tear. This article illustrates and discusses the advantages of using a subacromial-space portal site to view and arthroscopically manage large subscapularis 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.

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.

Arthroscopic Augmentation of Subscapularis Revision Repair Using a Bioinductive Collagen Implant.

Project description:The overall failure rate of rotator cuff healing after primary repair is high and is even greater in revision cases. This worrisome outcome has spurred the development and use of biological materials to help promote healing potentials. This Technical Note describes an all-arthroscopic technique for the application of a bioinductive collagen patch to augment subscapularis full-thickness tear repair. We describe in detail a stepwise approach to guide surgeons in patient positioning, portal placement, diagnostic arthroscopy, graft preparation, deployment, and fixation.

Arthroscopic Subscapularis Repair With Preserved Biceps Anatomy.

Project description:Arthroscopic subscapularis repair continues to improve with the advancement of surgical technique and critical focus on careful intraoperative evaluation. As identification of these tears increases, there is an expected increase in repair rates as well. Anatomically, the upper border of the subscapularis and the long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon are in close relation. Many surgeons have advocated concomitant LHB tenotomy versus tenodesis in conjunction with operative subscapularis tears. We hypothesized that in the setting of a preserved anatomic biceps pulley and no LHB pathology, isolated subscapularis repair would result in excellent clinical outcomes when compared with subscapularis repair and biceps tenotomy or tenodesis.

Knotless Arthroscopic Repair of Subscapularis Avulsion Fracture Using a Single Anterior Portal.

Project description:Proximal humerus lesser tuberosity avulsions are uncommon injuries; however, when present, they can be debilitating for patients. As such, they pose a unique clinical challenge. These fractures were traditionally treated through an open approach to the proximal humerus; however, arthroscopic techniques continue to evolve and are increasingly used for these types of injuries. We describe our minimally invasive arthroscopic technique to repair lesser tuberosity avulsions using standard arthroscopic equipment. This method is safe, efficient, and applies basic shoulder arthroscopic techniques.

Arthroscopic Subscapularis Repair Through a Single Anterior Portal.

Project description:Arthroscopic subscapularis repair with knotted suture fixation typically requires use of both anterior and accessory superolateral portals with passage of suture through multiple anatomic spaces. The advent of knotless anchors has allowed for simplification of subscapularis repairs. In this report we describe a simple method of knotless arthroscopic subscapularis repair through a single anterior portal. The indication for a single-anterior portal knotless subscapularis repair is a complete tear of the upper one-third of the subscapularis. This approach can be used for isolated subscapularis repair or, in patients with multiple-tendon involvement, initial subscapularis repair to facilitate subsequent posterosuperior cuff repair.

Double-Row Arthroscopic Subscapularis Repair: A Surgical Technique.

Project description:The subscapularis is the strongest rotator cuff muscle in the shoulder. Until recently, most surgical repairs were performed through an open approach. Furthermore, the reporting of arthroscopic repair techniques and outcomes is fairly limited. This is likely due to the difficulty involved in all-arthroscopic repairs and the relative rarity of this injury compared with injuries of the other rotator cuff tendons. Arthroscopic subscapularis repair can be challenging, even for an expert surgeon, and attempting a double-row repair adds further complexity. Given these issues, this article provides techniques to allow for successful arthroscopic double-row subscapularis repair and avoid potential complications. The key features of an arthroscopic double-row repair include portal placement, surgical technique, and tips to avoid potential pitfalls, all of which are discussed.

Biologic Augmentation of Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair Using Minced Autologous Subacromial Bursa.

Project description:Failure of rotator cuff repair surgery can be attributed to a variety of factors, including insufficient biologic environment to support healing. The subacromial bursal tissue has been shown to have a reservoir of mesenchymal stem cells and is a potential source for biologic augmentation during rotator cuff repair. We have developed a technique to capture the subacromial bursal tissue during subacromial bursectomy and then reimplant the tissue on the bursal surface of the rotator cuff tendon after rotator cuff repair. Our goal is to describe our technique of subacromial tissue collection and reimplantation that obviates the need of suturing a whole sleeve of bursal tissue while improving cell yield for rotator cuff healing.

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 "Panorama" View of the Subacromial Space via Deltoid Fascia Release.

Project description:Proper visualization is of paramount importance during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. We propose a technique that significantly improves the visualization of the rotator cuff when viewing from the anterolateral or lateral portals. This "panorama" view is obtained by a release of the deep layer of the deltoid fascia, which in turn increases the space between the humerus and the deltoid muscle. This release increases the volume of the subdeltoid bursa, secondarily increasing the field of view of the subacromial space with the camera viewing from the anterolateral or lateral portals. This technical note describes a new technique useful in obtaining an excellent view of the subacromial space proving very useful in both the diagnosis and treatment of rotator cuff pathology.
