Thank you so much for this information
When I was 17 (11 years ago) I had a major shoulder repair surgery with my rotator cuff. All I remember afterwards is my surgeon/Dr telling me that he wished he had done the surgery sooner and it was way worse than he had ever expected. I had 7 anchors put in then and 1.5lbs of scar tissue taken out. It still to this day isn’t the same

Dr, first thanks for the videos. It help me understand what I am going through with my right shoulder.

Hi Jani, Thanks for your comment. Make sure you have the best surgeon with lots of experience fixing rotator cuffs. Talk to them about your options. SCR, Supplemental grafts, tendon transfers, InSpace Balloon. These are all options your surgeon should have at their disposal, just in case. Hope this helps and let us know how you are doing.
I am 8 months post op from arthroscopic knotless double row repair to supraspinatus. 2x PEEK Healicoil anchors internal row, and 2x PEEK Multifix anchors external row. Also had arthroscopic single row repair on Subscapularis using Q-Fix All Suture anchors X2. My question is, are all types of anchors equal or are some superior? Does the patient's pathology also determine anchor selection? Thank you for your videos.
@rotatorcuffexpert
3 ай бұрын
Good question. Those anchors are all made by Smith-Nephew. They are different as they do different jobs and are in different areas of bone. For example the Q-fix is better in the area of bone where the subscapularis attaches as its hard cortical bone and minimal cancellous bone. The healicoil anchor holds better in more cancellous bone which is found in the area where the supraspinatus attaches. I Hope the way I explained it makes some sense!

Thank you. Yes that makes sense. Also, just wondering if you could make a video about the different types of sutures in relation to rotator cuff surgery. Perhaps touching on issues such as why the sutures are permanent, what they are generally made of, the difference between suture tapes and regular suture, knots vs knotless repair, biocompatabilty and the long term fate of the implanted suture. That would be helpful. My supraspinatus was stitched with Ultratape suture, again by Smith & Nephew. Thank you once again all the way from Australia. Many kind regards.

Yes! It was a full tear & appeared like a "torn ragged edge of a curtain" to me. And the other tear that was not full thickness was repaired at the same time. When I asked my doc about the 4 anchors being used he said that was how many he prefers on a full thickness tear of that size. He cleaned up the edge of the tear & reattached. I am at 13 weeks, but about 7-8 weeks in I swear I felt like a puppet in that the shoulder joint made crinkly creeky type audible sounds when I raised & lowered it! And when me or my husband put his hand on it while I did it you could feel this!!! So strange. No pain associated. It went away in about a week and a half. It was everyone's opinion that it would diminish as my muscles got stronger around the area & the scar tissue broke up a bit. Dunno but that was very wierd for sure. So yes; during that time I was super careful not to overdo it. But kept up with PT exercises.

Yes Batman, a thin rotator cuff is more difficult because the sutures can tear through it. You can get an idea of the quality of the tendon on the MRI, however during surgery is the only real way to know for sure. Hope this helps. As far as suturing the muscle, that is typically not done.

Regarding muscles, how much of the muscle belly for the posteior rotator cuff infraspinatus is visible on mri. That muscle runs all the way to end of scapula so just wondering how much of the muscle belly shows up on shoulder mri, like where is the cutoff. Probably up until the mid muscle? And does the teres major muscle show at all?

We can typically see most if not all of the muscle including the teres minor. (teres major is not a rotator cuff muscle). The muscle of the rotator cuff is typically not the problem, it is the tendon of the rotator cuff that is torn typically.

I like your videos but you used a seriously misleading title (you did not discuss the title subject at all)

Doug, Sorry. I was trying to be clever with the title and obviously I missed the mark. You are the second person who has had a similar comment. I will change the title today. That was not my intention. Thanks for the comment.
Can you give me your honest thoughts on PRP injections? More specifically do you think it would repair a full thickness tear of the biceps tendon or a torn labrum? Perhaps a video explaining PRP injections and what they can and can't do for the viewers

Mike without examining you and seeing your MRI images it is impossible to predict. It is a little confusing because you say Full thickness tear and then you say it is small. I'm not sure I fully understand your tear. Please go see an ortho so you can talk through your unique situation. Good Luck Mike!

@@rotatorcuffexpert thank you dr. On my MRI it says "small perforating tear at the proximal extra-articular segment" I dont have the time right now to see my dr again and lack of insurance. I cant find anything describing if this is a full thickness tear or now. Thank you Dr.
