The Irreparable Tear is like the unchuggablebeer ie Massive Cuff Tear does not equal Irreparable Cuff tear 2 or more Tendons > 5cm Irreparable tear is one in which the size of the tear, retraction, poor tissue quality prevent direct complete tendon to bone repair. doesn’t have to be a massive tear some partial tears are irrepairable due to tissue compliance
• Tears classified by pattern• Anterosuperior
• Supraspinatus with subscapularis extension• Posterosuperior
• Supraspinatus with infraspinatus extension

Surgical repair of large-to-massive rotator cuff tears seems to be a better option than patch augmentation or débridementand biceps tenotomy: a prospective comparative study.Maillot C1, Harly E2, Demezon H2, Le Huec JC2.
• J Shoulder Elbow Surg. 2018 Sep;27(9):1545-1552. doi: 10.1016/j.jse.2018.05.023. Epub 2018 Jul 3.• This prospective study compared the outcomes after 3 different
treatments for large and massive rotator cuff tears.
• Patients were allocated in 3 groups: (1) arthroscopic complete repair (repair group), (2) open repair and xenograft patch augmentation (patch group), and (3) arthroscopic débridement and tenotomy of the long head of the biceps (débridement group).
• N 32. No differences were found between the repair and patch groups, but the difference became significant between the débridement group and the patch group (P < .001) and also between the débridementgroup and the repair group (P < .002). 5 complications occurred in 11 patients in the patch
• The use of porcine dermis patches to augment repairs of massive and irreparable rotator cuff tears is not recommended

Options for Irreparable RC Tears
Biologic
• Superior Capsular Reconstruction
Traditional
• Debridement (± Biceps Tenotomy)
• Partial Repair
• Bridging or Augmented Graft
• Tendon Transfer
• Reverse TSA
• Combination of these
• Fusion
Each of these procedures requires different lengths and times ofimmobilization protection and nuanced rehabilitation

My Preferred Deltotrapezial Flap Takedown
• Deltotrapezial Flap this thickest within 1 cm of either side of the AC joint
• Plane of Maximum Elevation is 20 degrees anterior to the spine of the scapula.
![Page 22: General Surgical Principles of Open Rotator cuff repair ... · •Rockwood et al reported significant pain relief and restoration of shoulder function after open acromioplasty and](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042306/5ed1a9331fc22e2705114c87/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
My Preferred Deltotrapezial Flap Takedown
• The incision courses obliquely across the acromioclavicular joint to take advantage of the thick flap created by subperiosteal exposure preserving the AC joint capsule
• Use cautery for the initial incision and then a slow sweeping motion with the knife

Bony Trough
• A very shallow but broad bony trough should be created from the sulcus to the tuberosity

Deltoid Repair
• If, despite your best efforts, the deltoid is thin, place a running suture 1 cm. from the edge and place anchoring sutures behind these
• Especially helpful with deltoid dehiscence

Rotator cuff bridging repair using acellular dermal matrix in large to massive rotator cuff tears: histologic
and clinical analysis.Kim JO1, Lee JH2, Kim KS3, Ji JH4, Koh SJ3, Lee JH3.• In the rabbit model Histologically, the cuff tendons with the ADM
showed characteristically mature tendons as time passed.
• Clinical ASES score improved from 50 to 83,
• UCLA 17 to 30,
• Simple Shoulder Test 4 to 8,
• No further fatty deteriorations or muscle atrophy were observed on follow-up magnetic resonance imaging. A retear 5 of 24 patients (21%).
• Bridging repair with ADM in the rabbit model showed cellular infiltration into the graft and some evidence of neotendon formation. Clinically, ADM repair was a safe alternative that did not show any further fatty deterioration nor muscle atrophy in large to massive rotator cuff tears.

Conclusions
• Open Rotator Cuff Surgery can be successful in treating Massive Rotator cuff tears
• The same attention to detail from preoperative selection intraoperative technique and postoperative management is required for success regardless of the technique and Many of the historic complications can be avoided.
• The results can be enhanced in some patients with “Irreparable Tears” with the application of Acellular Dermal Matrix
