Arthroscopic Repair of Massive Subscapularis and Supraspinatus Tear by Double-Row Knotless Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
Subscapularis is the most powerful muscle in the rotator cuff. A steep learning curve and constrained space anteriorly make the repair difficult. In massive tears of the rotator cuff, repair of the subscapularis initially makes the massive supraspinatus tear repairable. We present our technique to repair subscapularis and supraspinatus tear by double-row anchors in a knotless and tension-free manner. This technique can be done in partial or full-thickness tears of the upper subscapularis.

Tears of the subscapularis tendon have been significantly recognized as a source of shoulder pain and dysfunction in the past decade, thanks to arthroscopic evaluation of the shoulder and biomechanical and anatomical studies of the tendon. Current classification of subscapularis tendon tear is based on insertion site of the tendon. Recently, a classification for non-insertional types of subsc...

متن کاملArthroscopic Subscapularis Repair Through a Single Anterior Portal
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 anterio...
متن کاملKnotless Arthroscopic Repair of Subscapularis Tendon Tears Using Looped Suture.
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 te...

BACKGROUND The reported rate of failure after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair has varied widely. The influence of the repair technique on the failure rates and functional outcomes after open or arthroscopic rotator cuff repair remains controversial. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the functional and anatomic results of arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs performed with the doubl...
