Partial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tear

Partial-thickness tears of the bursal or articular side of the rotator cuff may be treated with traditional repair techniques or biologic augmentation.

PASTA Repair Technique

The PASTA bridge technique allows for the transtendon repair of partial, articular-sided supraspinatus tendon avulsions. This technique simplifies PASTA repair, while providing a secure construct technique that enhances footprint compression to maximize contact between tendon and bone.

CuffMend™ Partial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Augmentation

The CuffMend system provides an efficient, simplified approach for augmenting partial-thickness rotator cuff tears. The system employs the benefits of a thick ArthroFlex® dermal allograft, which provides mechanical strength and allows healing.^1-3 Components include a graft spreader, FiberStitch™ RC implants for medial soft-tissue fixation, and self-punching PushLock® anchors for lateral fixation over the tuberosity footprint. Implantation of the CuffMend system is designed to be completed in less than 10 minutes. Scientific literature demonstrates improved functional results and a decreased retear incidence using acellualr dermal grafts for rotator cuff augmentation.⁴
