Description
Springer Arthroscopic Transosseous Rotator Cuff Repair Tips and Tricks 1st Editon 2018 Softbound by Claudio Chillemi, Alessandro Castagna, Marcello Osimani
The book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the cutting edge arthroscopic transosseous techniques for the treatment of rotator cuff tears, which are gradually taking over from the common open surgical approach, defined as the gold standard for RCR. With the help of numerous figures, it presents step by step a novel all-arthroscopic anchorless transosseous suture technique that is less invasive and easier to perform. After discussing the etiopathogenesis, histopathology and radiological classification of rotator cuff tears, the book reviews all possible arthroscopic procedures and explores in detail suture management, describing single and double tunnel options. It also examines the complications and post-operative rehabilitation and imaging, while the closing chapter addresses the economic aspects of daily use. Intended primarily for arthroscopic surgeons interested in the field of shoulder joint repair, this exhaustive guide is also a valuable resource for residents and shoulder specialists. 1 Rotator cuff tear: etiopathogenesis and histopathology.- 2 Rotator cuff tear: classification system.- 3 Rotator cuff tear: imaging (radiological classification).- 4 Transosseous rotator cuff repair: rationale.- 5 Transosseous and Transosseous equivalent rotator cuff repair: the difference.- 6 Transosseous tunnel: which arthroscopic device?.- 7 Transosseous rotator cuff repair: which arthroscopic technique?.- 8 Sutures configurations.- 9 Surgical indications and Complications.- 10 Post-operative rehabilitation program.- 11 Post-operative imaging.- 12 Biomechanical and Biological Considerations.- 13 Economic Aspects.- 14 Conclusions.
