Use of Novel Radiofrequency Wand for the Application of the Biceps Tenotomy and Subacromonical Bursectomy

Rotator cuff tears in patients can lead to a surgical intervention to relieve the pain and improve the function of the shoulder joint. In the majority of cases, the rotator cuff repair is completed arthroscopically and requires the ability for soft-tissue resection and visualization to restore the a...

description Rotator cuff tears in patients can lead to a surgical intervention to relieve the pain and improve the function of the shoulder joint. In the majority of cases, the rotator cuff repair is completed arthroscopically and requires the ability for soft-tissue resection and visualization to restore the anatomic structures to their native state. With the advent of a radiofrequency wand, the technical aspects of a biceps tenotomy from the insertion point on the glenoid can be completed, along with the ability to resect, ablate, and coagulate tissue, using a single instrument. Although bone resection is completed with a bone cutting shaver and/or burr, the soft-tissue dissection can be completed in a precise and efficient manner.
