Overview of Osteoporosis and Rotator Cuff Disease [PDF]
Background: Rotator cuff disease and osteoporosis are frequently overlapping pathologies in the older patient population. Increasing evidence suggests that impaired bone health negatively impacts rotator cuff tear development and healing after repair ...

Surgical Technique for Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair With All-Polyester Patch Augmentation. [PDF]
Abstract Rotator cuff repair failure remains a challenging problem, particularly in the setting of poor tendon quality or revision surgery. Patch augmentation has been introduced to reinforce repair constructs and improve healing rates, but many biologic and synthetic materials introduce drawbacks such as inflammatory response, increased bulk, donor ...

A Transosseous Suture Technique for Rotator Cuff Repair in Patients With Severe Osteoporosis. [PDF]
Abstract Suture anchor‐based repair is widely regarded as the standard technique for rotator cuff tears; however, in patients with severe osteoporosis, anchor pullout remains a major concern. Classical transosseous rotator cuff repair provides favorable biomechanical strength and avoids anchor‐related complications but has several inherent limitations.

Augmentation of Rotator Cuff Repair With a Bioinductive Collagen Scaffold: The Arthroscopic Slide Technique [PDF]
Abstract Rotator cuff repair continues to be one of the most common orthopaedic surgeries performed. However, depending on patient risk factors, retear rates remain high. We describe a technique for tensioning a collagen scaffold to supplement rotator cuff repair using laterally based pulley sutures.

Artificial Intelligence Predicts Failure of Nonoperative Treatment in Degenerative Posterosuperior Rotator Cuff Tears. [PDF]
Purpose To develop an artificial intelligence‐based algorithm to predict success of nonoperative treatment in degenerative posterosuperior tears and to identify the most influential features. Methods Patients with degenerative rotator cuff tears initially treated nonoperatively were enrolled prospectively from January 2022 to November 2024.

Patient-Reported Outcomes and Factors Influencing Partial-Thickness Articular-Sided Rotator Cuff Tear Transtendinous Repairs. [PDF]
Purpose To evaluate patient‐reported outcomes of the transtendinous repair technique for partial‐thickness articular‐sided tendon avulsions (PASTA) using patient‐acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) thresholds. Methods Chart reviews included patients who underwent a transtendinous arthroscopic rotator cuff repair by a single surgeon for a high‐grade ...

Arthroscopic Suture-Only Intra-articular Soft-Tissue Long-Head Biceps Tenodesis to the Rotator Cuff. [PDF]
Abstract Pathology of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) is a prevalent source of shoulder pain and is often concomitant with rotator cuff diseases. Various treatment modalities exist for addressing this condition, including surgical approaches, anatomical sites for tenodesis fixation, and types of fixation devices employed.

Tension-Reducing Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair Using High-Strength Suture Tape in a Suspension Bridge Configuration. [PDF]
Abstract The maturation of arthroscopic techniques has provided patients with rotator cuff tears a minimally invasive treatment option with favorable outcomes; however, the rate of retear remains high. High‐strength suture tape is widely used in procedures such as knee ligament reconstruction and ankle ligament repair, where it enhances the tensile ...

All‐Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Muscle Advancement With Pan Scapular Release and Using the Scapular Triangular View [PDF]
Abstract An all‐arthroscopic rotator cuff muscle advancement technique is presented for posterosuperior massive tears. This procedure involves subperiosteal release of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus from the scapula while preserving continuity with the levator scapulae and the rhomboid muscles.

Arthroscopic Palmaris Longus Tendon Bridging for Augmented Repair of Bursal‐Sided Partial Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears [PDF]
Abstract The management of bursal‐sided partial‐thickness rotator cuff tears remains controversial. Both transtendon repair preserving the residual tendon and conversion to full‐thickness repair yield satisfactory outcomes. However, treating bursal‐sided partial‐thickness rotator cuff tears with significant tendon retraction because of delamination is ...
