An Arthroscopic Technique for Hybrid Double-Row Repair Using a Cancellous Screw and Washer for Enhanced Lateral-Row Fixation in Osteoporotic Massive Rotator Cuff Tears With Long-Head Biceps Augmentation. [PDF]
Arthrosc TechAbstract Massive rotator cuff tears in osteoporotic bone often fail because of many factors, including poor anchor fixation. We present an arthroscopic hybrid double‐row repair technique using a unicortical cancellous screw and washer for lateral‐row fixation, combined with biceps superior capsular reconstruction.

Shift Angle and Medial Retraction of the Deep Layer on Magnetic Resonance Imaging Are Associated With Intraoperative Reparability in Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair. [PDF]
Arthrosc Sports Med RehabilPurpose To determine whether magnetic resonance imaging‐based measurements of the deep layer, specifically the shift angle and medial retraction, can predict intraoperative reparability of large‐to‐massive rotator cuff tears. Methods This retrospective study included patients who underwent arthroscopic repair of large‐to‐massive rotator cuff tears ...
