Abstract:
This study examined the technique and outcome of arthroscopically assisted mini-deltopectoral rotator cuff repair. The mini-deltopectoral approach enables the repair of large or massive rotator cuff tears while preventing injury to the deltoid muscle and axillary nerve often caused by splitting and excessive traction during conventional mini-open repair. This technique also is useful in the repair of subscapularis tears and thus could extend the indications for mini-open repair.
