Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction Using Hamstring Allograft.

Arthrosc Tech

OrthoIllinois, Rockford, Illinois, U.S.A.

Published: December 2022

Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) has become an acceptable treatment option for patients with chronic shoulder pain in the setting of an irreparable rotator cuff tear. Several different techniques have been described with varying graft options. In this Technical Note, we introduce a technique for arthroscopic SCR using hamstring allograft tendon. Our described technique allows for a "one-size-fits-all" graft with a "build as you go" construct with no need for intraoperative dimensional defect measurements or specific graft modifications. This technique provides a reliable and reproducible procedure using readily available graft tissue.

To evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of arthroscopic augmented partial repair (APR) with acellular dermal matrix versus arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) in massive rotator cuff tears. The study included a total of 49 patients with massive rotator cuff tears who underwent arthroscopic APR (26 patients) and SCR (23 patients) between March 2018 and June 2021. Clinical scores, visual analog scores, and range of motion were collected preoperatively and postoperatively until the last follow-up.

Background: The incidence of revision shoulder arthroplasty continues to rise, and infection is a common indication for revision surgery. Treatment of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in the shoulder remains a controversial topic, with the literature reporting varying methodologies, including the use of debridement and implant retention, single-stage and 2-stage surgeries, antibiotic spacers, and resection arthroplasty. Single-stage revision has been shown to have a low rate of recurrent infection, making it more favorable because it precludes the morbidity of a 2-stage operation.

Study Design: This study employed a patient-specific finite element model.

Purpose: To quantify the effect of anterior and posterior surgical approaches on adjacent segment biomechanics of the patient-specific spine and spinal cord.

Overview Of Literature: Adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) is a well-documented complication following cervical fusion, typically resulting from accelerated osteoligamentous deterioration and subsequent symptomatic neural compression.

Reconstruction of the Superior Capsule Using Peroneus Longus Tendon Graft Combined With Transposition of Biceps Tendon for Irreparable Massive Rotator Cuff Tears.

Sports Medicine Center, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery/Orthopaedic Research Institute, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Background: Traditional superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) with biceps tendon transposition (TB) alone for irreparable massive rotator cuff tears (IMRCTs) has demonstrated a high retear rate, highlighting the need for alternative approaches. Therefore, SCR using a peroneus longus tendon graft (PLG) combined with TB (PLG-TB) should be clinically studied.

Purpose: To compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of SCR using the PLG-TB technique versus the TB technique alone for IMRCT.

In all aspects of orthopaedic surgery, restoring native patient anatomy has shown improved outcomes in comparison to nonanatomic reconstructions. Particular attention has been paid to the hip capsule, as the complex of the iliofemoral, pubofemoral, and ischiofemoral ligaments, as well as the zona orbicularis and iliocapsularis, all play an essential role in hip stability, mechanics, and maintenance of intra-articular pressures. An anatomic approach toward hip arthroscopy also includes labral repair or reconstruction with preservation of the chondrolabral junction and cam resection.
