Massive rotator cuff tears have always been a worrisome situation to every orthopaedic surgeon. Patients’ functional demands are increasing with time, and this is why we aim to offer them the best options to preserve their quality of life. We found that using the Banana SutureLasso (Arthrex) has made this type of surgery much easier. We think that with the Banana SutureLasso (Arthrex) we have more access to the medial part of the rotator cuff, and that we can grab both the deep and superficial layers of the tendons while diminishing the risk of laceration. We combined an X-suture with a double-row fixation using a Corkscrew (Arthrex) on the humeral tuberosity and a SwiveLock (Arthrex) screw on lateral side of the humerus. We used only 3 portals with an extra parking portal. Another advantage is that we can adjust the sutures so they would be perpendicular to both ends of the tear. Our technique is simple, safe, and reproducible. |
