Abstract: Rotator cuff repair has excellent outcomes for many patients but continues to be suboptimal for large, retracted tears, and revision procedures. In certain circumstances, augmentation may be explored to aid healing. This is a case study. A 61-yearold man with a 3-month history of left shoulder arthroscopic subacromal decompression with bursectomy, acromioplasty, rotator cuff repair with patch augmentation, strengthening with bio synthetic graft fleece, and ACJ excision. After a physical examination, the left shoulder was found to have active forward elevation of 130 degrees and passive forward elevation of 150 degrees, pain in the periscapular region, rotator cuff strength of 4/5, and distal neurovascular integrity. Finally, the patient is pleased with the results of the operation, and he now has a decent functional range of motion, although he still has weak muscles and severe scapular discomfort

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a serious complication that can occur after orthopedic surgery. Most instances of PE in the orthopedic field have occurred after hip or knee arthroplasties or after fracture surgeries. The occurrence of PE related to arthroscopic shoulder surgery is very rare. We report a case of PE that developed after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, in which the patient did not show preoperatively any remarkable risk factors for PE. We also review the current literature related to this topic.

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional outcome and the tendon healing after arthroscopic double row rotator cuff repair of large and massive rotator cuff tears.Methods. 82 patients with a full-thickness large and massive rotator cuff tear underwent arthroscopic repair with double row technique. Results were evaluated by use of the UCLA, ASES, and Constant questionnaires, the Shoulder Strength Index (SSI), and range of motion. Follow-up time was 2 years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies were performed on each shoulder preoperatively and 2 years after repair.Results. 100% of the patients were followed up. UCLA, ASES, and Constant questionnaires showed significant improvement compared with preoperatively (P<0.001). Range of motion and SSI in flexion, abduction, and internal and external rotation also showed significant improvement (P<0.001). MRI studies showed 24 cases of tear after repair (29%). Only 8 cases were a full-thickness tear.Conclusions. At two years of followup, in large and massive rotator cuff tears, an arthroscopic double row rotator cuff repair technique produces an excellent functional outcome and structural integrity.
