Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses two cases related to shoulder injuries and their treatment options. In the first case, a 61-year-old woman with left shoulder pain and weakness is experiencing impingement pain, loss of function, and sleep disturbances. An MRI reveals fluid around the biceps and a compromised range of motion. The second case involves a full thickness retracted supraspinatus tear with significant delamination in the infraspinatus. The surgeon uses anchors and sutures to repair the tears and incorporates the long head of the biceps to reinforce the repair. The video also mentions the possibility of using the biceps as a biceps SCR in cases with no supraspinatus. There are references to studies and discussions about treatment options.
