Rotator cuff tears in patients can lead to a surgical intervention to relieve the pain and improve the function of the shoulder joint. In the majority of cases, the rotator cuff repair is completed arthroscopically and requires the ability for soft-tissue resection and visualization to restore the anatomic structures to their native state. With the advent of a radiofrequency wand, the technical aspects of a biceps tenotomy from the insertion point on the glenoid can be completed, along with the ability to resect, ablate, and coagulate tissue, using a single instrument. Although bone resection is completed with a bone cutting shaver and/or burr, the soft-tissue dissection can be completed in a precise and efficient manner.
患者的肩袖撕裂可能需要手术干预以减轻疼痛并改善肩关节功能。在大多数情况下，肩袖修复通过关节镜完成，需要具备软组织切除和可视化能力，以将解剖结构恢复到其原始状态。随着射频棒的出现，从肩胛盂插入点进行肱二头肌肌腱切断术的技术操作得以完成，同时还能够使用单一器械进行组织切除、消融和凝固。虽然骨切除是用骨切割刀和/或磨钻完成的，但软组织解剖可以精确且高效地完成。
