Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to repair a torn tendon in the shoulder. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, providing stability and allowing a wide range of motion. When one or more tendons of the rotator cuff tear, it can lead to pain, weakness, and limited shoulder function.
Indications for Surgery
1. Have Symptoms: Persistent shoulder pain that does not improve with conservative treatments such as physical therapy or anti-inflammatory medications.
2. Have a Significant Tear: A large or complete tear of the rotator cuff tendons as diagnosed through imaging studies like MRI.
3. Desire to Restore Function: Individuals who want to regain strength and functionality in their shoulder for activities of daily living, work, or sports.
Repair Process
1. Visualization: The arthroscope provides a clear view of the torn tendon and any other damage in the shoulder joint.
2. Tendon Preparation: The torn edges of the tendon are trimmed and prepared for repair.
3. Anchor Placement: Small anchors made of bio-absorbable material or metal are placed into the bone at the site of the tendon attachment.
4. Suturing: The surgeon uses sutures attached to the anchors to stitch the tendon back to its original position.
Conclusion
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is an effective treatment option for restoring shoulder function and alleviating pain caused by rotator cuff tears. Advances in surgical techniques and rehabilitation protocols continue to improve outcomes, allowing many patients to return to their normal activities with reduced pain and improved shoulder function.
