Rotator Cuff Repair with SpeedBridge™ Technique

The Arthrex. Speedbridge is a soft tissue fixation device that combines fully threaded SwiveLock anchors with FiberTape. Your surgeon may use the SpeedBridge for repair of a rotator cuff tear. The rotator cuff is what holds your humerus, upper arm bone in the shoulder socket and helps to lift and rotate your arm. It is made up of four muscles that come together to form the rotator cuff around the head of the humerus, which fits into your shoulder socket. Glenoid. First, the surgeon prepares the rotator cuff and humerus for the insertion of the first bone anchor, called a SwiveLock. By punching a bone socket. The SwiveLock is available with a ready to use FiberTape loop. The surgeon inserts the SwiveLock anchor into the bone and releases the FiberTape loop. The fast pass Scorpion is used to pass the FiberTape through the rotator cuff and retrieve it for use later. The step is repeated for the second anchor. The FiberTape loop is trimmed at the splice to separate the tails. The surgeon retrieves one FiberTape tail from each of the anchors and preloads the FiberTape tails into another SwiveLock anchor. The surgeon then prepares the bone socket and inserts the Biocomposite SwiveLock anchor. Finally, if there is a loose end of rotator cuff, it can be secured with a FiberLink and the two remaining FiberTape tails with a fourth and final SwiveLock anchor. This completes the SpeedBridge repair.

The SpeedBridge™ rotator cuff repair utilizes a fully-threaded BioComposite™ SwiveLock® anchor combined with FiberTape® suture to create a knotless double row construct requiring only 2 suture-passing steps with the FastPass Scorpion™ suture passer. The SpeedBridge repair is a low profile, transosseous-equivalent repair that enhances footprint compression to maximize contact between tendon and bone. The animation highlights the ability to proactively address potential dog-ears with a FiberLink™ suture cinch stitch that can be incorporated into the knotless lateral row.

SpeedBridge™ Repair

Speedbridge is a knotless double row rotator cuff repair that combines fully threaded SwiveLock anchors with FiberTape to create a strong and low profile construct while minimizing surgical steps. The rotator cuff footprint is prepared. The Arthrex sheath less arthroscope is moved to a posterolateral viewing portal, and a bone socket is prepared at the articular margin. The SwiveLock is available with a convenient preloaded FiberTape loop. The swivel lock is inserted by holding the thumb pad steady while rotating the driver handle. The preloaded FiberTape loop is released from the thumb pad, and the number two FiberWire tip retention suture is discarded. The FiberTape is retrieved laterally. The FiberTape limbs are joined into a single tail to allow easy passage with a fast pass Scorpion, which automatically retrieves the past suture. The FiberTape are moved to an accessory portal, and the process is repeated for the second medial anchor. Trim the FiberTape loop at the splice to separate the tails. Retrieve one FiberTape from each of the medial anchors. Preload the FiberTape into the SwiveLock. Prepare a lateral bone socket. Tension the fiber tapes and then insert the eyelet into the bone socket. Do not attempt to apply tension with the eyelet in the bone socket. If it is determined that the tension is not adequate, the driver can be backed out and tension readjusted. Insert the Cannulated and vented Biocomposite SwiveLock anchor. If a dog ear is anticipated, it can be reduced using a FiberLink suture passed in a cinch stitch configuration. The FiberLink and two remaining FiberTape tails are all secured with a second lateral SwiveLock anchor. This completes the totally knotless SpeedBridge repair, which enhances footprint compression to maximize tendon to bone contact.

SpeedBridge™ and SpeedFix™ Knotless Rotator Cuff Repair Using the SwiveLock®  C Anchor and FiberTape®  Suture

Peter Millett, MD, (Vail, CO) performs a live surgery using knotless BioComposite™ SwiveLock® suture anchors with FiberTape® to complete a quick and secure double-row rotator cuff repair that restores the rotator cuff footprint and maximizes contact between the tendon and bone. Dr. Millett prefers a totally knotless construct to help evenly spread the load across the entire construct. He also highlights use of the SutureLasso™ for retrograde suture passage and uses a PowerPick™ to prepare a bleeding bone bed in the rotator cuff footprint.

SpeedBridge™ Rotator Cuff Repair Using the SpeedBridge™ Implant System

My name is Peter Millett. We're here at the Vail Valley Medical Center, and we're going to demonstrate a case of rotator cuff repair using a SpeedBridge kit. This is a 58 year old gentleman with a left shoulder injury. He had an acute on chronic injury to his left shoulder. And he is a medium sized supraspinatus tear extending into the leading edge of the infraspinatus. It looks like it's a crescent shaped tear based on his MRI. So we hope to demonstrate the principles of achieving a very good biomechanically strong and also a biologically friendly rotator cuff repair to enhance healing and optimize your results. You can see how that elevator is retracting the tear up so I can see inside of it. Clean off the footprint and try and remove all the soft tissue so that we get healing from the bone up to the tendon. So we're going to use the SpeedBridge kit, which has four anchors in it and one punch. Two anchors are loaded preloaded with sutures and two are for the lateral row. So in this case the tendon is hanging down. So I'm just going to put this elevator in again here posteriorly. And just try and adduct the arm as much as we can. And my assistance is going to pull a little bit of lateral traction. The TRIMANO really helps a lot to get this angle. He has a fairly lateral acromion. So we want to make sure we get a good angle with the anchor going in perpendicular to the bone. So this is our posterior medial anchor 4.75mm SwiveLock. It's a biocomposite anchor. So the anchor has to be flush with the bone before you start advancing it. It's getting a good purchase. And this anchor is vented. You can see some of the vents there that allows for access to the marrow. Now there's sutures on this which you can use if you like and incorporate into your repair if you like to tie knots. In this case, we're going to do an all knotless type repair. And that anchors designed it's fully threaded. It's designed to sit flush on the cortex. So use a 90 degree straight lasso. Here, I'll come in from my posterior portal. And then with a grasper through the posterior lateral portal. Here, figure out exactly where the tissue needs to go and penetrate through. And I can look underneath. See the tip of this come through so we can see exactly where it's going to enter the joint here. And just grab the wire. And then we will retrieve the sutures. The sutures are come together to win. Just a one suture facilitates passage either with the lasso or with a Scorpion passer. And we'll just pull the sutures really tight this point to get all the slack out. And now we're going to do our anteromedial. So we'll switch the scope and place that in the posterior lateral viewing portal. So we'll come in with a punch through here. There's the articular margin. So we use that as a landmark. I also want it to be about a centimeter from this other Our anchor. So we can get it fairly perpendicular. I can put an elevator in too, just as an additional retractor. I'll come in with our anchor. Sink it down. The anchor is flush with the bone. Here. It's squeaking. It's making a good contact with the bone. And the anchor, as I mentioned, is designed to be just flush with the cortex. That's some of the best bone. So the anchor is fully threaded to take advantage of that. So it has very good initial fixation strength. If you want you can pack the cannula up just a little bit and make sure it's flush which it is. And then we'll pull out the suture that's on the eyelet. Now to pass through the rotator cuff I'll abduct it again with the TRIMANO and all these little moves. Really just help with your visualization. I'll come with the lasso and a grasper. Right. So I'll just grab the tissue first, and then I'll come in percutaneously through the anterior cannula. There's my lasso. So now what I can do is I can actually lift up on it. And you can see the smooth synovial tissue right there that tells you you're right at the articular margin. So you're not over reducing this tendon. You're just repairing it right back to its anatomic footprint. It's a good landmark to use. And we'll pass the suture. Now we'll just cut these two tapes so they're separate. And we'll cut the one on the back too. And now what I like to do just before I put my lateral row in, is take a grasper and just reduce the tissue, figure out where everything is going to go based on where the sutures are. This is a 45 degree PowerPick here to create some additional channels for healing. So the tendon is going to go to go over this, so hopefully they'll act as little anchor points and healing places for the rotator cuff tendon. And a larger tear will tend to start with the lateral side that has the least tension and work towards the more tension. So we gradually reduce the tear. But with a smaller tear like this, I don't think it's as critical. This is a SutureTape retriever. It has a little roller on it that acts like a pulley, because there's so much friction with the tape that regular grasper, it's a little bit difficult to retrieve, but that's what gives it such good fixation laterally with the knotless technique with the tape. So we grab that. You can see the roller device there and then we'll retrieve it. And then what I do is I use this cannula actually to help me reduce and figure out where I want to put my lateral anchor. It's provisional reduction here. And then I'll take the opus device and we will remove the periosteum here laterally. The best bone is first at the articular margin. Then second is out here laterally. We're working now so we'll have really good fixation. And then I'll take a punch. And the arm is abducted now, so we have good access for our lateral row. Second line is the SwiveLock line. The first line is for a fully threaded Corkscrew. And then I'm going to just grab the suture with a hemostat and pull it through the threader. And then I'm going to just pull the threader. And now the anchor is loaded. And I'll align it so that the sutures are coming from medial. And then the tag ends are coming out laterally so that when we get in there it doesn't have any twists in it. I like to put about eight millimeters of slack into the system. And then what we'll do is we'll kind of hover it and then we'll compress it down. And I think what we can do now is we can just take a little mallet and I can tap this down. In place. And now I can just double check my tension, which looks good now. So I'm happy with that. If I wasn't happy with it, I could back the whole construct out and start over. But I'm happy with it. So now I'll just advance my lateral anchor in place and then we'll take a FiberTape cutter next and cut the tag ends. It looks like it's flushed. So we'll we can pull the whole construct out. And you have these little sutures here. If you wanted to, you could use those to repair a dog ear if there was one. In this case, we don't really have anything. But if you wanted to, you could use those just like you'd use it from a regular anchor. I'm going to pull them out, but they're available as an option. And then Holly's going to come in again with the Grasper now and feed it through. And we've put that threader onto the FiberTape cutter. So now we can just easily. Cut it. And what I'll do now is retrieve the sutures again. Here's the first suture. And. Here's the second suture. Good. Okay. Now, like I was saying, I can use this to help my provisional reduction. And at this point, you can see it seems like we're running out of out of a little bit of real estate, but if we take the TRIMANO and we just internally rotate the arm a little bit, now we have plenty of room to put our posterolateral anchor in. We can look at it, figure out exactly where we want to go and repair it. So again we'll clear off the periosteum. That's about where we want our anchor to go. Just make a little spot where we want our anchor to go. We can look at our other anchor before just to make sure we like it. Maybe I'll go just a tiny bit posterior. Okay, great. Okay, so now we'll come in with our punch and we will punch for our posterior. Lateral. Past the SwiveLock line the second line. And then we'll put fourth anchor in. Very nice. And we're just threading that through. So again we have to get the right tension. So we will go past the hole a little bit by about 8 to 10mm. Millimeters. Drop it in. I think that's pretty good. So I'll just tap that in place now. And now what I can do is I can check everything before it looks like it's pretty solid. And now I'll just secure it in place. And it's nice and flush with the tuberosity. So we'll take that extra suture out. And then the final step, we'll just cut it. Okay. Great. Perfect. You can see all the blood coming out of the anchor. And that's our final repair. That's it. Speedbridge. Thank you.

This new animation features the use of a BioComposite SwiveLock® with FiberTape® to complete a quick and secure single-row rotator cuff repair. It also highlights the option of adding a FiberLink™ Rip-Stop suture when poor tissue quality is encountered. The SpeedFix Rip-Stop is an improved knotless alternative to a triple loaded suture anchor that requires knot tying.

SpeedFix™

The Arthrex SpeedFix is a knotless single row rotator cuff repair that combines a fully threaded SwiveLock anchor with FiberTape to quickly create a strong and low profile construct. The rotator cuff footprint is prepared. The Arthrex BioTalus arthroscope is moved to a posterolateral viewing portal and a multefire fast pass. Scorpion is used to pass the FiberTape in an inverted mattress configuration. The Multefire Fast Pass Scorpion automatically captures and retrieves both of the FiberTape tails. The FiberTape tails are preloaded through the SwiveLock eyelet and a bone socket is prepared. The cannulated and vented SwiveLock is inserted by holding the thumb pad steady while rotating the driver handle. Optionally, a FiberLink cinch stitch can be passed medially to the FiberTape, creating a ripstop configuration to increase tissue pull through strength. The cinch suture is incorporated with the FiberTape in the SwiveLock anchor, completing the knotless repair.

Stabilisierung akuter Schultereckgelenksprengungen in der Dog Bone Button-Technik

Collagen Coated FiberWire® Suture

The Dog Bone Button is a precontoured, titanium button that allows the use of multiple FiberTapes® for AC joint reduction, providing a construct that is twice as strong as existing AC joint repair devices. Since the buttons are attached to the FiberTapes independently, only suture material is passed through the clavicle and coracoid tunnels, allowing the repair to be completed through smaller tunnels. Tunnel drilling is made easier with new AC guide arms and a new 3 mm Cannulated Drill. The guide arms feature angled tips and two posts to help seat the guide firmly against the base of the coracoid and the 3 mm Cannulated Drill allows for one-step tunnel drilling, eliminating the need to drill over a guide pin.

SpeedBridge™ und SpeedFix™ − knotenfreie Rotatorenmanschettenrekonstruktion mit SwiveLock® C und FiberTape®

Speedfix es una técnica diseñada para reparar lesiones pequeñas del manguito rotador. Si la lesión del manguito rotador no se repara, es posible desarrollar artritis en el hombro. El cirujano comienza identificando el desgarro en el tendón del manguito rotador. El manguito se coloca en el sitio de su inserción original para garantizar que la reparación se pueda completar sin tensionarlo. Una vez que el hueso y los tejidos blandos se han preparado para la reinserción del manguito, el cirujano usa un pasador doble de sutura para colocar un hilo de sutura especial llamado FiberTape a través del manguito rotador desde abajo hacia arriba. El FiberTape se recupera y se separa en una cánula. A continuación, el cirujano hace un solo orificio en el hueso lateral con respecto al hueso preparado. Se enhebra el FiberTape en un ancla SwiveLock y el ancla se coloca en el orificio en el hueso. Se recorta el sobrante de sutura con un dispositivo de corte. La reparación del manguito rotador está completa.

Die SpeedFix technik wird zur Rekonstruktion von kleinen Rissen der Rotatorenmanschette eingesetzt. Wenn eine gerissene Rotatorenmanschette nicht rekonstruiert wird, kann es zu einer Arthrose in der Schulter kommen. Zunächst sucht der Operateur den Riss der Rotatorenmanschette auf. Die Manschette wird zu ihrem ursprünglichen Ansatz gezogen, um sicherzustellen, dass die Rekonstruktion spannungsfrei erfolgen kann. Mit einer Fräse wird am Oberarmkopf eine Fläche geschaffen, an dem die Manschette einheilen kann. Nachdem Knochen und Weichgewebe für die Fixierung der Manschette vorbereitet sind, wird ein FiberTape Spezialfaden mit einem Multif Scorpion faden durchzieher von unten nach oben durch die Rotatorenmanschette gezogen. Dieser spezielle faden Durchzieher ermöglicht es dem Operateur, das Instrument vor dem Durchzug des zweiten Fadens neu zu positionieren. Die Fäden werden aus einer Kanüle ausgeleitet und liegen gelassen. Der Operateur bohrt lateral des präparierten Knochens ein einzelnes Loch in den Knochen. Die Fäden werden durch einen Anker gezogen, der dann in dem Knochenloch platziert wird. Die Fäden werden angezogen und der Anker wird eingeschraubt. Der überstehende Faden wird mit einem Fadenschneider abgeschnitten. Jetzt ist die Rekonstruktion der Rotatorenmanschette abgeschlossen.

La technique SpeedFix permet de réparer de petites ruptures, des tendons, de la coiffe, des rotateurs. Si une rupture des tendons de la coiffe des rotateurs n'est pas réparée, elle peut être à l'origine d'une arthrose de l'épaule. Le chirurgien commence par localiser la rupture des tendons de la coiffe des rotateurs. Celle-ci doit être amenée à son point d'attache d'origine pour que la réparation puisse s'effectuer sans tension. On utilise une fraise pour préparer sur l'humérus un point sur lequel la coiffe pourra guérir. Une fois l'os et les tissus mous préparés pour le rattachement de la coiffe, le chirurgien utilise un passe-fil Scorpion multifibres pour faire passer de bas en haut le fil à travers la coiffe des rotateurs. Ce passe-fil spécial permet au chirurgien de repositionner l'instrument avant de faire passer le second fil de suture. Le chirurgien récupère les fils et les met de côté dans une canule. Il crée ensuite un unique logement osseux sur le côté de l'os préparé. Il enfile les fils dans une ancre qu'il place dans le logement osseux. Il tend les fils de suture et visse l'ancre à sa place. Il coupe les longueurs de fils inutiles avec un instrument coupant. La réparation de la coiffe des rotateurs est alors terminée.

De SpeedFix techniek wordt voor de reconstructie van kleine scheuren in de rotator cuff gebruikt. Als een gescheurde rotator cuff niet gerepareerd word, kan er artritis in de schouder ontstaan. Eerst kijkt de chirurg waar de scheur in de rotator cuff zit. De cuff wordt tot zijn oorspronkelijke aanhechting plaats getrokken om ervoor te zorgen dat de reconstructie zonder spanning kan verlopen. Met een frees wordt aan de kop van het opperarmbeen een vlak stuk gemaakt waar de cuff kan genezen. Na het voorbereiden van het bot en het zachte weefsel voor de bevestiging van de cuff wordt een hechtdraad met een multi fire Scorpion draad geleider van onder naar boven door de rotator cuff getrokken. Dankzij deze speciale draad geleider kan de chirurg het instrument voor het doortrekken van de tweede draad opnieuw positioneren. De draden worden dan teruggehaald en opgeslagen in een canule. De chirurg maakt naast het geprepareerde bot een enkel gat in het bot. De draden worden door een anker getrokken dat dan in het bot gat wordt geplaatst. De draden worden aangetrokken en het anker wordt vastgeschroefd. De uitstekende draad wordt met een knip tangetje afgeknipt. De reconstructie van de rotator cuff is nu voltooid.
