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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Project description:PurposeWe create a viable, mechanically expanded autograft long head biceps tendon (LHBT) scaffold for biologically augmenting the repair of torn rotator cuffs.MethodsThe proximal aspect of the tenotomized LHBTs was harvested from patients during rotator cuff repair surgery and was mechanically formed into porous scaffolds using a surgical graft expander. LHBT scaffolds were evaluated for change in area, tensile properties, and tenocyte viability before and after expansion. The ability of endogenous tenocytes derived from the LHBT scaffold to promote tenogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADMSCs) was also determined.ResultsAutograft LHBTs were successfully expanded using a modified surgical graft expander to create a porous scaffold containing viable resident tenoctyes from patients undergoing rotator cuff repair. LHBT scaffolds had significantly increased area (length: 24.91 mm [13.91, 35.90] × width: 22.69 mm [1.87, 34.50]; P = .011) compared with the native LHBT tendon (length: 27.16 mm [2.70, 33.62] × width: 6.68 mm [5.62, 7.74]). The structural properties of the autograft were altered, including the ultimate tensile strength (LHBT scaffold: .56 MPa [.06, 1.06] vs. native LHBT: 2.35 MPa [1.36, 3.33]; P = .002) and tensile modulus (LHBT scaffold: 4.72 MPa [-.80, 1.24] versus native LHBT: 37.17 MPa [24.56, 49.78]; P = .001). There was also a reduction in resident tenocyte percent viability (LHBT scaffold: 38.52% [17.94, 59.09] vs. native LHBT: 68.87% [63.67, 74.37]; P =.004). Tenocytes derived from the LHBT scaffold produced soluble signals that initiated ADMSC differentiation into an immature tenocyte-like phenotype, as indicated by an 8.7× increase in scleraxis (P = .040) and a 3.6× increase in collagen type III mRNA expression (P = .050) compared with undifferentiated ADMSC controls.ConclusionsThe ability to produce a viable autologous scaffold from the proximal biceps tendon having dimensions, porosity, mechanical characteristics, native ECM components, and viable tenocytes that produce bioactive signals conducive to supporting the biologic augmentation of rotator cuff repair surgery has been demonstrated.Clinical relevanceThis biologically active construct may help to improve the quality of healing and regeneration at the repair site of rotator cuff tears, especially those at high risk for retear.
