Operative 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 کاملSuprascapular Neuropathy Associated with Massive Rotator Cuff Tears: a Rationale for Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair
INTRODUCTION Massive rotator cuff tears may be present in patients with minimal pain and good function, or in patients with significant pain and disability.5,6,14,26 In the latter case, arthroscopic repair, either partial or complete, has been demonstrated to improve function.3,11,20,21 The mechanism of recovery is believed to be associated with an improved rotator cuff function due to at least...
متن کاملMassive tears of the rotator cuff.
Repair of massive rotator cuff tears is technically difficult but often feasible. Technical and biological challenges to a successful repair include inelastic poor-quality tendon tissue, scarring, muscle atrophy, and fatty infiltration. Fatty infiltration of the involved rotator cuff muscles has been identified as an important negative prognostic factor for the outcome after repair of massive r...
متن کاملOutcomes After Open Revision Repair of Massive Rotator Cuff Tears With Biologic Patch Augmentation.
PURPOSE To assess minimum 2-year clinical outcomes after open revision biologic patch augmentation in patients with massive rotator cuff retears who had deficient rotator cuff tendons with healthy rotator cuff muscles. METHODS Patients with massive posterosuperior rotator cuff retears who underwent open revision rotator cuff repair with patch augmentation were identified from a surgical regis...
متن کاملTreatment options for massive rotator cuff tears.
Various classifications of rotator cuff tears have been proposed. Many authors currently define a tear as massive if there is a detachment of at least 2 complete tendons. Whereas small tears can occur without symptoms, massive tears are always associated with weakness and, especially in young patients, often with painful disability. Massive tears are only rarely due to an acute injury; rather, ...
