Abstract

Miniaturization of arthroscopic equipment has allowed wrist arthroscopy to emerge as a powerful surgical tool in orthopedic surgery. The magnified view of the arthroscope has provided a new understanding of carpal anatomy and disease. Arthroscopy improves surgeons' ability to diagnose wrist disorders and enables them to perform operative procedures with less morbidity than would occur in open procedures.

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.
