Attempts to restore the anatomical footprint during rotator cuff repair for retracted, relatively immobile tears can be difficult. In some cases, it can lead to excessive tension of the repair. Previous studies have noted improved clinical outcomes when repair tension is not excessive, and medialization of the anatomical footprint has been suggested as a technique that can help surgeons repair large, retracted tears without excessive tension and achieve improved clinical outcomes. Of note, excessive tension when restoring the rotator cuff tendon to the anatomical footprint is not limited to large, retracted tears. In some cases, restoring small- and medium-sized tears to the anatomical footprint also can lead to excessive tension. Therefore, it is not uncommon for the authors to employ some degree of footprint medialization even for repair of small- or medium-sized tears if repair to the anatomical footprint will lead to excess tension. The purpose of this article and video demonstration is to provide instruction for a reproducible rotator cuff technique using a medialized single-row rip-stop construct combined with convergence. |
