Abstract

This paper describes the result of the interdisciplinary cooperation of traumatologists of the Berufsgenossenschaftliche Unfallklinik (BGU) in Frankfurt am Main and a team of computer graphics scientists of the Franunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics in Darmstadt. We have developed a highly interactive training simulator system by means of computer graphics and virtual reality techniques.

Arthroscopic debridement and acromioplasty versus mini-open repair in the management of significant partial-thickness tears of the rotator cuff.

Treatment options for partial-thickness rotator cuff tears have included debridement and acromioplasty or open repair. The outcome of these two treatments has been difficult to assess from the literature. The results of a retrospective review of arthroscopic versus open treatment are reviewed with recommendations for a treatment algorithm.

Full-thickness tears: arthroscopic repair.

Arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears is an option for a surgeon with advanced arthroscopic skills and a thorough knowledge of open repair technique. Surgical indications and a detailed description of operative technique are presented. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair offers theoretical advantages over open repair, but long-term studies are needed to demonstrate its effectiveness.

Single-tendon tears of the rotator cuff. Evaluation and treatment of subscapularis tears and principles of treatment for supraspinatus tears.

Successful surgical treatment of single-tendon tears, which involve the supraspinatus or the subscapularis requires careful attention to technical details. In supraspinatus tears, careful mobilization and secure repair of the tendon will usually give a good outcome. In subscapularis tears, the diagnosis is not difficult if one carefully evaluates the patient for the classic pathognomonic findings of such a tear. If the tear is confirmed by CT or MR imaging and an acute repair is performed, the outcome is usually satisfactory.
