Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Debridement [PDF]

, 2020
Recent evidence has shown that rotator cuff pathology, in most patients, is due to primary intrinsic tendon degeneration. This degeneration leads to a build up of tendinosis at the insertion of the rotator cuff.

Biologically based strategies to augment rotator cuff tears [PDF]

, 2012
Lesions of the rotator cuff (RC) are among the most frequent tendon injuries. In spite of the developments in both open and arthroscopic surgery, RC repair still very often fails. In order to reduce the failure rate after surgery, several experimental in

Arthroscopic repair of large and massive rotator cuff tears—“sandwich augmentation” with the long head of the biceps tendon: a technical note [PDF]

Clinics in Shoulder and Elbow
For most shoulder surgeons, addressing massive rotator cuff tears that have retracted ends poses a significant challenge. This study introduces a technique, termed the “sandwich augmentation technique,” which incorporates the long head of the biceps ...

Perioperative Intravenous Dexamethasone Improves Pain and Functional Outcomes After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate the effect of perioperative dexamethasone on patient‐reported pain, functional outcomes, and minimal clinically important difference (MCID) achievement following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Methods Patients who underwent rotator cuff repair between 2013 and 2023 were identified and divided into groups.

Loss of Reduction and Clavicle Fractures Commonly Occur in Patients Undergoing Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction and Female Sex Is Associated With Higher Fracture Risk

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To use a large, multi‐institutional database to characterize the outcomes and complication profile after primary acromioclavicular (AC) joint reconstruction and to evaluate potential sex‐related differences in outcomes and complications. Methods The TriNetX national database was queried for patients undergoing AC joint reconstruction between ...

Allogenic Umbilical Cord Tissue for Rotator Cuff Injuries. [PDF]

Highly prone to injury, the rotator cuff greatly contributes to the stability and mobility of the shoulder. Clinicians prioritize conservative treatment, resorting to surgery only when necessary, although they are hindered by inherent limitations ...

Relationship between the degree of degenerative rotator cuff tear and the thickness of coracoacromial ligament on inferior surface of acromion

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Objective To investigate the coracoacromial ligament thickness measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the inferior surface of the acromion, and to find the correlation between coracoacromial ligament thickness and rotator cuff tear size. Methods

The Use of a Bio-Inductive Collagen Patch to Supplement Repair of Large and Massive Rotator Cuff Tears Including Revisions: Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes at 2-year Follow Up

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2018
Objectives: Failures of large, massive, and revision rotator cuff repairs is a challenging problem within orthopedics. Poor tendon tissue and vascularity are known causes for failure of rotator cuff repairs.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair: Surgical Technique Using Augmentation With Biocomposite Scaffold

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Repair of the anterior cruciate ligament has recently regained interest over the past decade. Such repairs can be augmented with nonabsorbable suture for strength or biologic scaffolds to promote healing. This technique uses the BioBrace, a porous 3‐dimensional collagen scaffold made from bioresorbable bovine type I collagen that is reinforced

Severity of rotator cuff disorders and additional load affect fluoroscopy-based shoulder kinematics during arm abduction. [PDF]

BACKGROUND Rotator cuff disorders, whether symptomatic or asymptomatic, may result in abnormal shoulder kinematics (scapular rotation and glenohumeral translation).
