Arthroscopic Tuberoplasty for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear
Arthroscopic tuberoplasty is performed for patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears and preserved motion. By completing a debridement on the greater tuberosity, the surgeon does not disturb the CA arch for anterosuperior escape and potentially creating an unbalanced shoulder while improving impingement end of arc pain. The debridement starts anteriorly near the bicipital groove and continues posteriorly until intact rotator cuff is encountered.
