Arthroscopic Repair of Isolated Pediatric Subscapularis Tears
نویسنده
چکیده
Methods: Two pediatric, skeletally immature patients were identified with complete subscapularis tendon tears resulting from athletic participation. Extent of rotator cuff pathology was evaluated through physical examination, X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and diagnostic arthroscopy. Two different suture anchor systems were utilized for repair of the tendon tear in Case 1 and Case 2: Mitek Helix BR (De Puy Mitek, Raynham, MA) and Peek Bio-Corkscrew (Arthrex, Naples, FL), respectively. Immediate adequacy of repair was confirmed through intra operative range of motion evaluation. Postoperative recovery included relative immobilization and graded physical therapy exercises. Surgical outcome was gauged at three months postoperative with active range of motion evaluation and thorough clinical evaluation; followed by evaluation of return to sport after 1 year postoperatively.

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...

An all-arthroscopic repair of the subscapularis tendon has seen signifi cant interest in the past 10 years. As we refi ne our knowledge and arthroscopic techniques in repairing other rotator cuff tears, we are now more capable of addressing subscapularis tears in an all-arthroscopic fashion as well. Th e main advantages of an all-arthroscopic repair of the subscapularis tendon are smaller incis...
