Use of an Arthroscopic Bridging Graft for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears With the Modified Mason-Allen Stitch Using a Tendon Autograft.

ABSTRACT: We describe a technique for treating irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCTs) by bridging grafts with a long tendon autograft. In this technique, the plantaris tendon is harvested and prepared in a Y-shaped graft. The folded end of the graft is anchored to the greater tubercle and the other 2 limbs are fixed to rotator cuff tissue using modified Mason-Allen stitches. The autograft can decrease the tension on the repair of irreparable RCTs and has biological superiority. Our clinical experience indicates this technique will bring superior integrity to irreparable RCT repairs.

Arthroscopic Patch Bridging Using Fascia Lata for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:We describe an arthroscopic technique for irreparable rotator cuff tears using patch bridging reconstruction with fascia lata autograft. Compared with conventional rotator cuff repair, this technique reconstitutes the rotator cuff as a dynamic structure, preserves the rotator cuff remnant, reduces excessive tension of the rotator cuff, and preserves the shoulder joint. The fascia lata patch itself is low cost and avoids risks of transmission of blood-borne infectious diseases and rejection. Although the bridging reconstruction is a complex operation with a long learning curve, we believe patch bridging using fascia lata is a highly effective and reproducible surgical protocol for appropriate irreparable rotator cuff tear patients.

Arthroscopic Biologic Acromiotuberoplasty for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Recent attention has turned toward the prevention of acromiohumeral abutment in the treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tears (IRCTs). This can be achieved through tendon transfer with a bridging allograft, superior capsular reconstruction, dermal allograft application to the greater tuberosity (biologic tuberoplasty), bursal acromial reconstruction, or subacromial balloon spacer placement. Recent literature has demonstrated increased graft thickness is associated with improved clinical outcomes after superior capsular reconstruction, suggesting a potential role of a direct bone-to-bone contact between the greater tuberosity and acromion in symptom generation in patients with IRCTs. In keeping with this ethos and building on the principle of both biologic tuberoplasty and bursal acromial reconstruction, the authors propose biologic acromiotuberoplasty as a treatment for IRCTs wherein a 3-mm dermal allograft is fixated to both the greater tuberosity of the humerus and the undersurface of the acromion for a total of 6 mm of allograft interposition.

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 Partial Repair of Irreparable, Massive Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Several treatment options for chronic, massive rotator cuff tears exist, and they include debridement with possible biceps tenotomy or tenodesis, open or arthroscopic partial repair, muscle or tendon transfer, superior capsule reconstruction, synthetic patch augmentation, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. The aim of this technique article is to describe our preferred surgical option for irreparable, massive rotator cuff tears with an irreparable supraspinatus, a reparable infraspinatus, and an intact or reparable subscapularis tendon.

Arthroscopic Biologic Tuberoplasty for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears: An Expedited Technique.

Project description:Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears in patients for whom arthroplasty is not an option can be a challenging clinical scenario for shoulder surgeons to manage. To achieve the best patient outcomes, a myriad of options has been presented in the literature, including debridement with biceps tenotomy or tenodesis, various tendon transfer procedures, superior capsular reconstruction, biceps tendon rerouting, bursal acromion resurfacing, balloon spacers, and tuberoplasty. While debridement with biceps tenotomy and superior capsular reconstruction have historically provided improvements in patient-reported outcomes, high rates of arthritis progression and failure of graft healing have been noted with these techniques, respectively. The superior capsular reconstruction has also proven to be technically challenging. The biologic tuberoplasty procedure was developed after several studies noted a lack of correlation between graft healing and improvement in patient-reported outcomes in superior capsular reconstructions, as long as the tuberosity remained covered with the graft. We present a technically efficient and expedited technique using an acellular human dermal allograft.

Arthroscopic Single-Row Superior Capsular Reconstruction for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears are challenging to manage. Often, these tears are not amenable to primary repair and necessitate additional treatment options. This is especially true in patients with absent glenohumeral arthritis in the setting of a massive, irreparable rotator cuff tear. Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR), originally described by Mihata using a fascia lata autograft, has grown in popularity for the treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tears as a salvage option with good clinical outcomes. More recently, SCR techniques have been described using dermal allograft. Biomechanical studies and reported clinical series show promising results, with favorable postoperative clinical outcomes. The procedure, however, may be technically challenging, especially when performed using an all-arthroscopic technique. This article describes an all-arthroscopic technique using a predetermined graft size, unique medial fixation to ease graft passage, and knotless single-row lateral fixation to optimize suture management and efficiency.

Arthroscopic Double-Row Repair of Posterosuperior Rotator Cuff Tears: Suture Bridge Technique Reinforced With Modified Mason-Allen and Simple Sutures.

Project description:Rotator cuff (RC) tears represent one of the most common causes of pain and dysfunction of the shoulder. Numerous RC repair techniques have been reported. In this Technical Note, we introduce an arthroscopic double-row repair technique that combines a suture bridge construct with modified Mason-Allen and simple suture fixation to optimize load-sharing and compression of the RC to the footprint. The described technique is ideal for crescent-shaped and large reparable U-shaped posterosuperior RC tears.

Arthroscopic double-locked stitch: a new technique for suturing rotator cuff tears.

Project description:There are a number of reasons for failed rotator cuff tear repair. In such cases the suture-tendon interface seems to be the most vulnerable area, especially when tendon degeneration is present. We describe a new technique, the arthroscopic double-locked suture, that increases the tendon fixation and has the added benefit of being placed parallel to the blood vessels, therefore avoiding damage to the tendon vascularization. The suture may be achieved by use of knots or knotless anchors and suture passers, without the need for any additional instrumentation. The new technique is especially helpful in cases in which the tendon is retracted and degeneration is present, impeding the use of the double-row technique or its transosseous equivalents.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction for Treatment of Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears have been troublesome entities to treat, especially in younger patients. Few good options exist, leaving most patients in recent years receiving a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty carries serious risks, a limited lifespan, and no other viable options should it fail. Recent biomechanical studies have shown that the superior capsule is critical to containing the glenohumeral joint reduced, allowing the larger muscles like the deltoid and pectoralis major to function properly. The superior capsular reconstruction is an anatomic reconstruction of the superior capsule to restore the normal restraint to superior translation that occurs with a deficient rotator cuff. The technique described in this article is an arthroscopic reconstruction of the superior capsule with dermal allograft.

Supraspinatus Tendon Reconstruction Using Fascia Lata Autograft for Irreparable Posterosuperior Massive Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Superior capsule reconstruction has shown good long-term clinical efficacy in treating irreparable posterosuperior massive rotator cuff tears. However, conventional superior capsule reconstruction did not treat the medial supraspinatus tendons. Therefore, dynamic function of the posterosuperior rotator cuff does not restore effectively, especially the function of active abduction and external rotation. We describe a supraspinatus tendon reconstruction technique that presents a stepwise approach to accomplish the dual goals of stable anatomic reconstruction and restoring the dynamic function of the supraspinatus tendon.
