Emerging Treatment Options for Massive Rotator Cuff Tears For The Sports Medicine Surgeons (5/5)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the topic of massive cuff tears and different treatment options. The speaker, who appears to be a doctor, references the SCR (superior capsule reconstruction) technique developed by Thierry Mihata as an effective treatment option. The video goes on to explain that the pain in cuff tears often comes from bone-to-bone contact between the greater tuberosity and the acromion. The speaker describes their own technique called "biologic tuberoplasty" which involves using a dermal allograft to prevent bone-to-bone contact and improve clinical outcomes. The speaker also mentions a similar technique called bursal acromial reconstruction, in which the undersurface of the acromion is covered. The video concludes with the speaker discussing their treatment algorithm based on patient age, arthritis, and bone quality. No credits are mentioned in the transcript.
