Summary

Management of massive rotator cuff tears (MRCT) is associated with high rates of failure. The long head of the biceps tendon augmentation (LHBTA) by reinforcement of the reconstruction and additional blood supply may improve healing and provide better outcome than partial repair only.

Conditions

  • Massive Rotator Cuff Tears
  • Rotator Cuff Injuries
  • Shoulder Pain Chronic

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Arthroscopic partial repair of massive rotator cuff tear

Surgery relies on arthroscopic reconstruction of the rotator cuff tendons. Because of irreparability of Supraspinatus tendon ( always) and infraspinatus tendon ( sometimes) surgeon performed partial repair to cover humeral head by the tendons

PROCEDURE

Arthroscopic partial repair of rotator cuff with biceps augmentation

Surgery relies on arthroscopic reconstruction of the rotator cuff tendons. Because of irreparability of Supraspinatus tendon ( always) and infraspinatus tendon ( sometimes) surgeon performed partial repair to cover humeral head by the tendons and because of good quality of the long head of the biceps tendon, its uses as biological reinforcement of the reconstruction to achieve better clinical and radiological outcome
