Non-Operative Management of Rotator Cuff Tears
BACKGROUND The role of nonoperative management for rotator cuff tears remains a matter of debate. Clinical results reported in the literature mainly consist of level IV studies, oftentimes combining a mixed bag of tear sizes and configurations, and are contradictory to some extent. METHODS A selective literature search was performed and personal surgical experiences are reported. RESULTS Mo...
متن کاملOperative Technique: Arthroscopic Repair of Massive Rotator Cuff Tears
Introduction Rotator cuff tears are a common cause of pain and disability. 2 With modern advances in arthroscopy and arthroscopic techniques, most rotator cuff tears can now be repaired arthroscopically, with several authors reporting successful results. However, the optimal management of massive rotator cuff tears is controversial and evolving. In general, a massive rotator cuff tear (MRCT) is...
متن کاملSonography of Rotator Cuff Tears
OBJECTIVE. The management of patients with signs and symptoms referable to the rotator cuff depends on the presence of cuff injury and the size of the tear. Treatment options include conservative nonsurgical management for patients with an intact or partially tom cuff, arthroscopic decompression of the coracoacromlal space for those not responding to nonsurgical management, and a range of surgi...
متن کاملPartial-thickness rotator cuff tears.
Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears are not a single entity; rather, they represent a spectrum of disease states. Although often asymptomatic, they can be significantly disabling. Overhead throwing athletes with partial-thickness rotator cuff tears differ with respect to etiology, goals, and treatment from older, nonathlete patients with degenerative tears. Pathogenesis of degenerative partial...
متن کاملPartial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears
Although the incidence of partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCTs) was reported to be from 13% to 32% in cadaveric studies, the actual incidence is not yet known. The causes of PTRCTs can be explained by either extrinsic or intrinsic theories. Studies suggest that intrinsic degeneration within the rotator cuff is the principal factor in the pathogenesis of rotator cuff tears. Extrinsic cau...
