Abstract

|
This article describes a new technique for the arthroscopic treatment of rotator cuff tear. In arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery, we did not use fluid as medium. Operation field was not distended and we did operation on atmospheric condition same as open rotator cuff repair surgery. We used only two portals (posterolateral and anterolateral) in most cases and additional portal (posterior and anterior portal) was used if needed. Other procedures were same as usual shoulder arthroscopic surgery with fluid. In this method, rotator cuff repaired successfully with no operation field visualization difficulty. Soft tissue swelling which can result airway complication did not occur. It also has benefit to prevent contamination by surroundings and can be changed to conventional arthroscopy immediately when it is necessary. We think this technique is reliable another option for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
