Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common causes of shoulder pain and dysfunction seen by orthopaedic surgeons. Although rotator cuff repair (RCR) has been shown to provide optimal outcomes, retear rates average roughly 60% and have been reported to exceed 90%. Retear after RCR is especially prevalent in patients with large, multitendon tears with poor tissue quality. Allograft augmentation of RCR may reinforce anatomically reparable tears, particularly in patients with poor tissue quality. Although various techniques of patch augmented RCR have been described, the procedure remains challenging. This Technical Note describes RCR augmented with acellular dermal allograft using the CuffMend system (Arthrex Inc, Naples, FL), which significantly decreases surgeon demand and helps avoid the pitfalls common with this procedure.
肩袖撕裂是骨科医生所见肩部疼痛和功能障碍的最常见原因之一。尽管肩袖修复术(RCR)已被证明能带来最佳疗效,但再撕裂率平均约为60%,据报道超过90%。RCR术后再撕裂在组织质量差的大的多肌腱撕裂患者中尤为普遍。RCR的同种异体移植增强术可能会加强解剖学上可修复的撕裂,特别是在组织质量差的患者中。尽管已经描述了各种补片增强RCR的技术,但该手术仍然具有挑战性。本技术说明描述了使用CuffMend系统(佛罗里达州那不勒斯市的Arthrex公司)进行脱细胞真皮同种异体移植增强的RCR,这显著降低了手术难度,并有助于避免该手术常见的陷阱。
