The lower trapezius tendon (LTT) transfer has been described for the management of irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears. Here we describe our technique of an arthroscopic-assisted LTT transfer using an Achilles tendon-bone allograft. This technique allows for augmentation of the tendon transfer using an Achilles tendon allograft while also keeping the calcaneal bone insertion, which allows for added bony fixation into the humerus and also minimizing the risk of the "killer turn" phenomenon at the aperture of fixation.
下斜方肌腱(LTT)转移术已被用于治疗不可修复的后上盂唇撕裂。在此,我们描述一种使用跟腱-骨同种异体移植物的关节镜辅助下LTT转移技术。该技术允许使用跟腱同种异体移植物增强肌腱转移,同时保留跟骨骨附着点,这有助于增加肱骨的骨固定,并将固定点处“致命转折”现象的风险降至最低。
