Use of an Arthroscopic Bridging Graft for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears With the Modified Mason–Allen Stitch Using a Tendon Autograft

We describe a technique for treating irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCTs) by bridging grafts with a long tendon autograft. In this technique, the plantaris tendon is harvested and prepared in a Y-shaped graft. The folded end of the graft is anchored to the greater tubercle and the other 2 limbs are...

Sumario:We describe a technique for treating irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCTs) by bridging grafts with a long tendon autograft. In this technique, the plantaris tendon is harvested and prepared in a Y-shaped graft. The folded end of the graft is anchored to the greater tubercle and the other 2 limbs are fixed to rotator cuff tissue using modified Mason-Allen stitches. The autograft can decrease the tension on the repair of irreparable RCTs and has biological superiority. Our clinical experience indicates this technique will bring superior integrity to irreparable RCT repairs.
