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


ABSTRACT: 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.
