Article Abstract
Treatment of full-thickness rotator cuff tears vary in surgical technique dependent on the amount of retraction of the rotator cuff and/or delamination of the soft tissue. The described technique addresses both of those concerns. We present a modification of the SpeedBridge technique used to address retracted or delaminated repairs and effectively expand the indications for use of the double-row knotless technique. In this modification, the reduction is performed by an initial anchor with several stay sutures providing provisional reduction of the tissue in a controlled fashion. This is followed by compression through a standard double-row technique.

Introduction: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is a well-established treatment for patients with rotator cuff tear arthropathy. The outcome after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has been investigated in several studies and national registries. However, the treatment has not been compared to non-surgical treatment.

Rotator cuff tendinopathy is a common cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction, presenting in two primary forms: calcific and non-calcific. These subtypes differ significantly in their pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and natural history, necessitating tailored diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. This review delineates the clinical presentations of calcific rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCCT), characterized by distinct pre-calcific, calcific, and post-calcific stages, and contrasts them with the more insidious, degenerative course of non-calcific rotator cuff tendinopathy.

Methods: This systematic review was conducted in accordance to PRISMA guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD4202461663). A comprehensive search was done in the following databases MEDLINE, Web of Science, Google Scholar.

Rotator cuff injuries are common and procedures of repair have evolved from open techniques to minimally invasive and arthroscopic ones. Despite these advances, the biomechanics, biology, and value of transosseous repairs remain superior, leading to the development of innovative devices that enable the utilization of this technique without the use of anchors, improving both the efficiency and safety of the procedure. This article reviews the latest advances in transosseous rotator cuff repair, highlighting its biomechanical advantages, as well as the factors that enhance recovery and offer more consistent long-term outcomes.

The rupture of the teres major muscle is a well-known condition in sports activities like baseball, hockey, and tennis. There is no real consensus in the literature regarding treatment, with approaches varying between functional and surgical methods. While functional treatment appears to be a viable option, there is a lack of evidence indicating significant improvement in medial rotation strength after aforementioned treatment.
