Rotator cuff repair protected with subacromial balloon spacer shows a low rate of non-healing.
Authors
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes and tendon integrity on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of chronic posterosuperior rotator cuff tears treated with single-row tensionless repair and subacromial balloon spacer as protection with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. The hypothesis of this study was that this procedure would have acceptable clinical outcomes and tendon-healing rate without increased complications.
