In transtendinous full thickness rotator cuff tears (FTRCT) with remnant cuff, conventionally, cuff remnant of the greater tuberosity (GT) is debrided for better tendon to bone healing. However, large...
From March, 2012 to October, 2017, a total of 127 patients who had the transtendinous FTRCT with remnant cuff were enrolled in this study. Rotator cuff tears were repaired arthroscopically, with patie...
At the final follow-up, UCLA, ASES, SST, and CS scores significantly improved from preoperative values to postoperative (all p < 0.05): UCLA (I: 19.6 ± 6.0 to 31.7 ± 3.2, II: 18.0 ± 5.7 to 31.5 ± 3.2)...
Remnant preserving rotator cuff repairs, which facilitate tendon-to-tendon healing, are superior in terms of tendon quality and are the preferred option for transtendinous FTRCT....
Retrospectively registered....
Rotator cuff tears are common in middle-aged and elderly patients. Despite advances in the surgical repair of rotator cuff tears, the rates of recurrent tear remain high. This may be due to the comple...
Rotator cuff pathology is a commonly encountered clinical and radiologic entity that can manifest as tendinopathy or tearing. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography offer similar sensiti...
Rotator cuff repair is usually successful, but retear is not uncommon. It has been previously identified that there is a higher incidence of apoptosis in the edges of the torn supraspinatus tendon. A ...
MR imaging is crucial in the evaluation of symptomatic patients who have undergone rotator cuff surgery. Familiarity with anatomic rotator cuff repair and the other surgical options for irreparable cu...
Failed rotator cuff repairs present a complex issue for treating surgeons. Many methods of management exist for this pathology including revision repair with biologic augmentation, repairs with allogr...
Rotator cuff repair (RCR) augmentation is often considered for patients with large-to-massive rotator cuff tears or chronic tears with poor tissue quality. Augmentation can provide mechanical stabilit...
Postoperative rehabilitation following rotator cuff repair is essential for a positive patient outcome. Each patient should have a program tailored to their individual tear and repair characteristics....
All-suture anchors or so-called "soft" anchors, initially adapted for labral repairs, have increased in popularity for use in rotator cuff repair because of their smaller size, decreased occupation of...
In limited series, soft anchors have demonstrated equivalent biomechanical and clinical performance compared with hard body anchors for rotator cuff repair....
Perianchor cyst formation can occur with both hard body and soft anchors....
Biomechanical and clinical data support aiming for vertical angles of insertion for soft anchors....
Deepening the understanding of morphology and corresponding sonographic features of the greater tuberosity and the various fracture lines in avulsion fracture like the "horizontal line sign" and "doub...
