Abstract:

Symptomatic partial-thickness rotator cuff tears and full-thickness tears with poor tissue quality often pose a dilemma for orthopaedic surgeons. Despite advances in repair techniques and fixation devices, retear rates remain high. Progression of partial-thickness tears has been noted to be over 50%, with remaining fibers seeing increased strain. Patch augmentation that induces a healing response while decreasing peak strain of adjacent tissue is becoming more popular among orthopaedic surgeons. Therefore, we present an all-arthroscopic technique guide for application of a Food and Drug Administration-approved bovine bioinductive patch (Rotation Medical, Plymouth, MN).
