Arthroscopic Patch Bridging Using Fascia Lata for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears

Arthroscopy Techniques
We describe an arthroscopic technique for irreparable rotator cuff tears using patch bridging reconstruction with fascia lata autograft. Compared with conventional rotator cuff repair, this technique reconstitutes the rotator cuff as a dynamic structure,

Knotless Suture Bridge Technique in High-Grade Bursal-Sided Rotator Cuff Tears. Is This The Way Forward?

Arthroscopy Techniques, 2017
We present our technique in managing high-grade bursal-sided rotator cuff tears. In this technique, the remaining intact cuff tissue is not sacrificed. The suture bridge technique is used to uniformly tension the torn tissue to the rotator cuff footprint.

ARC (Australian Rotator Cuff) trial: study protocol for a randomised placebo-controlled trial comparing rotator cuff repair to no repair during arthroscopic shoulder surgery for people with shoulder pain and non-acute rotator cuff tears

Trials
Background Degenerative rotator cuff tears are common and are often treated with surgical repair. Randomised trials have not shown a clear advantage to surgery over non-surgical treatment, but there have been no published placebo-controlled trials ...

Restoring the Anteroposterior Shoulder Force Couple: Arthroscopic-Assisted Lower Trapezius Tendon Transfer With Partially Augmented Rotator Cuff Repair for Irreparable Massive Rotator Cuff Tears

Arthroscopy Techniques
Lower trapezius transfer presents a highly encouraging therapeutic approach for addressing posterosuperior irreparable massive rotator cuff tears. Based on studies on the balance of force couples of the rotator cuff, more scholars believe that attention ...
