Figure Lengend Snippet: Arthroscopy photos of a left shoulder of a patient in the beach-chair position. (A) Arthroscope in the posterior portal viewing the remnant tendon and the myotendinous junction tear with humeral head exposed, and arthroscopic shaver coming in from the lateral portal. (B) Anterolateral view showing the positioning of the medial row suture anchor as medial as possible along the articular margin—a few mm of articular cartilage has been burred medially at this point to medialize the anchor placement given the medial nature of the tear. (C) Posterior view showing knots being tied in the medial row over the medial rotator cuff tendon, repairing the medial tendon to the medialized footprint. (D) Posterolateral view showing the remnant tendon laterally and repaired medial rotator cuff. (E) Posterior view demonstrating the use of a penetrating self-retrieving instrument to retrieve sutures from the medial row tied sutures through the remnant tendon. (F) Posterior view showing the use of a looped grasper to pull the sutures out of the lateral cannula for knot tying. (HH, humeral head; MR, medial row; RemTd, remnant tendon; RotC, rotator cuff.)

Article Snippet: Following this incorporation of the remnant tendon, the sutures are then loaded in a suture-bridge configuration into two 4.75-mm lateral row suture anchors (SwiveLock, Arthrex, Naples, FL) for added footprint compression over the intact tendon enthesis ( D, , and ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Arthroscopy photos of a left shoulder of a patient in the beach-chair position. (A) Lateral view of the subacromial space showing the knot tied over the remnant tendon, bringing it closer to the footprint medialized footprint and compressing the remnant tendon over the repaired medial rotator cuff. (B) Posterolateral view demonstrating the sutures that have been tied over the remnant tendon, loaded into lateral row knotless suture anchors in a transosseous-equivalent repair configuration, compressing the entirety of the remnant tendon. (C) Lateral view of the repair construct. Excellent compression of the remnant tendon has been achieved over the medial tendon repair with the use of this double row technique. (LR, lateral row; MR, medial row; RemTd, remnant tendon; RotC, rotator cuff.)

doi: 10.1016/j.eats.2020.10.061

Figure Lengend Snippet: Rotator Cuff Reconstruction for Irreparable Posterior-Superior Rotator Cuff Tear. 1. This procedure is performed on the right shoulder. The arthroscope is placed through the midlateral portal. One bone tunnel–aiming device is placed through an accessory anterolateral portal. 2. Tunnel I is created through the lesser tuberosity, at the anterior edge of the bicipital groove. Tunnel II is created through the greater tuberosity, at the posterior edge of the bicipital groove. Guide sutures are placed through the tunnels. 3. The arthroscope is placed through the posterior-lateral portal. The bone tunnel–aiming device is placed through an accessory lateral portal. 4. Tunnel III is created through the middle part of the greater tuberosity. Tunnel IV is created through the posterior part of the greater tuberosity. Guide sutures are placed in the tunnels. 5. The superior fossa portal is created. A suture retriever is placed through the supraspinatus. The guide suture in tunnel IV is retrieved through the supraspinatus. 6. The supraspinatus graft is passed through the supraspinatus into tunnel IV. The superior part of the graft is pulled into tunnel III. 7. A suture retriever is placed through the infraspinatus. The guide suture in tunnel II is retrieved through the infraspinatus. 8. The infraspinatus graft is passed through the infraspinatus into tunnel II. The superior part of the graft is pulled into tunnel I. 9. The scope is placed into the anterior subdeltoid space. The 2 ends of the infraspinatus graft are fixed by tying the sutures over the bone bridge. 10. The scope is placed into the lateral subdeltoid space. The 2 ends of the supraspinatus grafts are fixed with a knotless suture anchor.
