What We Can Do about Rotator Cuff Repair Failure
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Although tendon healing is not a prerequisite for successful long-term outcomes after rotator cuff surgery in terms of pain relief, activity, mobility, or patient satisfaction, [1-5] several reports have demonstrated improved outcomes in patients who have documented healing of their rotator cuffs, compared with patients who developed recurrent tears. [4,6,7] Healed tendons have been shown to lead to more strength and higher constant scores. [3]

Characteristics of Rotator Cuff Repairs Revised to Shoulder Arthroplasty
Background: Successful repair of a torn rotator cuff may prevent progression to rotator cuff arthropathy. However,previous studies have shown a substantial rate of failure after rotator cuff repair and characteristics of surgicallyrepaired rotator cuffs that go on to shoulder arthroplasty have not been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study wasto determine the patient cha...
متن کاملSuperior Capsule Reconstruction: What Do We Know?
The management of irreparable rotator cuff tears remains challenging. Since its introduction by Mihata in 2012, superiorcapsule reconstruction (SCR) has grown in popularity at an astonishingly rapid rate. The aim of this article is to providea comprehensive review of the available literature, in order to highlight what has so far been published on SCR,covering all aspects including biomechanica...
متن کاملPreliminary Results of a Consecutive Series of Large & Massive Rotator Cuff Tears Treated with Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repairs Augmented with Extracellular Matrix
Background: Recurrence rate of rotator cuff tears is still high despite the improvements of surgical techniques, materials used and a better knowledge of the healing process of the rotator cuff tendons. Large to massive rotator cuff tears are particularly associated with a high failure rate, especially in elderly. Augmentation of rotator cuff repairs with extracellular matrix or synthetic patc...
متن کاملAn Arthroscopic Knotless Technique for Anatomical Restoration of the Rotator Cuff and Superior Capsule: The Double-Layer Cinch Bridge
Rotator cuff repairs are the most common procedures in shoulder surgery, but still show long-term retear rates of up to 70%. Nonanatomic reconstruction is one possible cause of repair failure. The rotator cuff histologically consists of 5 separate layers of which 2 are macroscopically identifiable: the superior or tendinous layer and the inferior or capsule-ligamentous layer. In case of rotator...
متن کاملThe outcome and structural integrity of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with use of the double-row suture anchor technique.
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...
