Revision of Failed Rotator Cuff Reconstruction With a Large Humeral Head Cyst

Abstract A revision rotator cuff repair is a technically challenging surgical procedure. This can be further complicated by the presence of poor quality of the cuff tissue, as well as a large greater tuberosity cyst, typically located at the rotator cuff footprint. This Technical Note discusses the...

Summary:Abstract A revision rotator cuff repair is a technically challenging surgical procedure. This can be further complicated by the presence of poor quality of the cuff tissue, as well as a large greater tuberosity cyst, typically located at the rotator cuff footprint. This Technical Note discusses the surgical approach to deal with a revision rotator cuff tear with a large humeral head cyst. This described arthroscopic technique is performed in a single-stage procedure using a human dermal allograft (GraftJacket) for augmentation. This technique was specifically designed to (1) address the limited area for anchor placement, (2) use a bone graft, demineralized bone matrix, for repairing the bone cyst, and (3) optimize the biology for healing by augmenting the reconstruction with GraftJacket.
