Dynamic Biceps Rerouting for Irreparable Posterior-Superior Rotator Cuff Tear.

ABSTRACT: Irreparable posterior-superior rotator cuff tear (IPSRCT) is a common clinical condition. Many methods of transfer of the long head of the biceps (LHB) have been developed to augment the shoulder superiorly, with the best method using the LHB still being pursued. In this article, we introduce a special method using the LHB to address IPSRCT: arthroscopic dynamic LHB rerouting. The main steps of this technique include opening the native bicipital groove, creating a new bicipital groove through the greater tuberosity, rerouting the LHB into the new bicipital groove without LHB fixation, and side-to-side rotator cuff repair over the LHB. Our clinical experience indicates this technique can be easily and safely performed according to certain guidelines. We think the introduction of this technique will bring special insight to superior shoulder augmentation in case of IPSRCT.

Rooting Rotator Cuff Reconstruction for Irreparable Posterior-Superior Rotator Cuff Tear.

Project description:Irreparable posterior-superior rotator cuff tear is encountered quite often in clinical practice. Bridging the tendon defect with various materials is reasonable. However, optimal bridging structures and techniques are still being pursued. We introduce a rotator cuff bridging technique, rooting rotator cuff reconstruction. In this technique, autogenous tendon is used to make grafts. On the medial side, the graft tendons are suspended on the rotator cuff tendon. On the lateral side, the graft tendons are placed into tunnels through the tuberosities. The most critical steps of this technique are properly fabricating the humeral tunnels and suspending the graft tendons onto the rotator cuff tendon. We believe this technique will shed light on rotator cuff reconstruction.

Arthroscopic Humeral Bone Tunnel-Based Tendon Grafting and Trapezius Transfer for Irreparable Posterior Superior Rotator Cuff Tear.

Project description:Irreparable posterior rotator cuff tears pose challenges to orthopaedic surgeons, especially when the medial remaining rotator cuff is not reusable. Trapezius transfer is biomechanically favorable due to the similar vector of the transferred muscle to the native posterior superior rotator cuff. Regarding combined tendon grafting in trapezius transfer, onto-surface tendon attachment to the humerus was reported in most previous reports. For better tendon-humeral head connection, we introduce an humeral bone tunnel-based tendon grafting technique. In this technique, we use the hamstring tendons and the anterior half of the peroneus tendon to make 3 grafts. The most critical steps of this technique are the proper creation of the humeral tunnels and graft implantation. We consider the introduction of this technique will shed light in the field of trapezius transfer for Irreparable posterior rotator cuff tears.

Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear Treated With Combined Reconstruction of the Superior Capsule and Rotator Cuff: Technique Guidelines.

Project description:Irreparable rotator cuff tears in young patients can be challenging for the patient and orthopaedic surgeon. Interposition rotator cuff reconstruction has gained popularity in patients with retracted tears and a viable rotator cuff muscle belly. Superior capsular reconstruction is an emerging treatment option that was developed to restore native glenohumeral joint mechanics by creating a superior constraint, which provides a stable glenohumeral fulcrum. Reconstructing both the superior capsule and rotator cuff tendon in the setting of an irreparable tear may improve clinical results in younger patients with viable rotator cuff muscle belly and a maintained acceptable acromiohumeral distance.

Consider Long Head of Biceps Tendon for Reconstruction of Massive, Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear.

Project description:Despite the different treatment options for irreparable and massive rotator cuff tears (RCTs), there is no optimal treatment. Thirty percent of total RCTs can be classified as irreparable because of the massive tear size and severe muscle atrophy. The reported treatment failure rate is approximately 40% for massive RCTs. RCTs may be treated conservatively or surgically depending on pain, disability, and functional demands. The surgical treatment options are many, but decision making is a challenge; the real challenge is to apply the correct procedure for the correct indication in each patient. The long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) was used for augmentation to bridge the gap in immobile, massive RCTs. An arthroscopic biceps-incorporating technique was used for repair of large and massive RCTs, avoiding undue tension on the rotator cuff (RC). Recently, the LHBT was used for superior capsular reconstruction. This article describes the use of the LHBT for reconstruction of massive and irreparable RCTs through the following steps: (1) open exposure of the RCT, (2) debridement and subacromial decompression, (3) biceps tenotomy at the LHBT's origin on the glenoid, (4) LHBT and RC cuff mobilization, (5) passage of the LHBT through the mobilized RC and reflection onto itself, (6) tuberoplasty, and (7) fixation of the RC complex at the RC footprint.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsule Reconstruction Technique in the Setting of a Massive, Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear.

Project description:Massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears are challenging to treat and associated with pain and severe limitation in shoulder elevation due to the proximal migration of the humeral head and, consequently, subacromial impingement. Furthermore, retraction of the tendons in combination with fat infiltration and muscular weakness results in unpredictable treatment outcomes. While conservative treatment may be warranted for low-demand patients, surgical treatment is often indicated for a successful return to activities of daily living as well as an improved quality of life. The reported failure rate of rotator cuff repair for the treatment of a massive rotator cuff tear varies. However, this failure is often found at the interface between the tendon and tendon footprint. Several techniques have been reported to address this pathology, including muscular transfer, arthroscopic debridement, augmentation procedures, and superior capsule reconstruction. In particular, superior capsule reconstruction has been reported as a safe and effective method to treat a massive, irreparable rotator cuff tear. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred technique of a superior capsule reconstruction for the treatment of a massive, irreparable rotator cuff tear.

Cable Graft: Simple Superior Capsule Reconstruction Technique for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear Using a Teflon Patch.

Project description:We describe a simple superior capsule reconstruction technique for irreparable rotator cuff tear using a Teflon patch. In this technique, a triple-folded Teflon patch, suture tape, and a strong suture penetrating through the graft are fixed to the glenoid and greater tuberosity using a suture anchor. This allows for reconstruction of the superior capsule while simultaneously playing a role as a spacer. This procedure's greatest advantage is its simplicity; it is easy to perform, has a short operative time, and avoids the need to collect autologous tissue. More time is saved, as suturing and tying are not required. We believe our study could aid orthopaedic surgeons in clinical decision-making when encountering irreparable rotator cuff repairs.

Anatomical Dermal Allograft and Autologous Biceps Long Head Superior Capsule Reconstruction for Irreparable Posterosuperior Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) can be performed using fascia lata, dermal allograft, and long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT). We present a Technical Note combining dermal allograft and autologous LHBT, reconstructing the superior capsule's actual anatomical thickness and augmenting with single-stranded LHBT. The glenoid side consists of intact LHBT insertion and is covered with dermal allograft. The lateral side comprises posteriorly transpositioned LHBT, dermal allograft, and repairable remnant cuff. First, 1 suture-based anchor is used to fix the biceps 5 to 8 mm posterior to the bicipital groove, and tenotomy is done distal to it, while the glenoid side of the biceps is preserved. Second, 2 suture-based anchors are used to fix the dermal allograft at the glenoid side by 1 double-pulley and 2 mattress sutures. Third, 2 SwiveLock anchors are used to fix allograft's lateral side by 2 reverse mattress sutures. The tension and coverage of the graft can be determined by the position of the SwiveLock anchors. In this way, fewer anchors are needed than the conventional dermal allograft SCR and larger footprint coverage can be achieved than LHBT SCR. A better spacer effect may be achieved by combining both biological grafts' thickness, mimicking the intact shoulder's true anatomy.

Long Head Biceps Tendon-Natural Patch for Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Despite the development in shoulder surgery, massive irreparable rotator cuff tears still remain challenging for orthopaedic surgeons. Many surgical methods are addressed to this kind of pathology, but each of them has its own limitations. We decided to fuse the ideas of superior capsular reconstruction, "GraftJacket" technique, and partial rotator cuff repair. In this way, the technique using the long head biceps tendon simultaneously as a vascularized bridge between rotator cuff remnants and greater tubercle and as a depressor for the humeral head was created. This Technical Note describes the technique.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsule Reconstruction for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears in young patients are a particular challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. Surgical treatment options include debridement, partial rotator cuff repair, patch-augmented rotator cuff repair, bridging rotator cuff reconstruction with graft interposition, tendon transfer, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Recently, reconstruction of the superior glenohumeral capsule using a fascia lata autograft has been suggested to reduce superior glenohumeral translation and restore superior stability. Promising clinical results have been reported in 1 case series of 23 patients, indicating that superior capsular reconstruction may be a promising tool to manage massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. This article describes our preferred technique for arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction.

Arthroscopic-Assisted Lower Trapezius Tendon Transfer for Massive Irreparable Posterior-Superior Rotator Cuff Tears: Surgical Technique.

Project description:Tendon transfer options to reconstruct a massive irreparable posterior-superior rotator cuff tear include latissimus dorsi, teres major, or lower trapezius transfer. We previously described the lower trapezius transfer using a 2-incision approach, which includes a medial incision to harvest the lower trapezius and lateral transacromial incision to expose the rotator cuff and then perform the transfer through a deep tunnel connecting these 2 sites. In this report, we describe an arthroscopic-assisted technique of lower trapezius transfer augmented with an Achilles tendon allograft to reconstruct an irreparable posterior-superior rotator cuff tear.
