Results of Arthroscopic Decompression and Tuberoplasty for Irreparable Massive Rotator Cuff Tears.


Arthroscopic tuberoplasty with concomitant acromioplasty, as well as treatment of the biceps tendon when indicated, would be an option for diminishing pain and improving active forward elevation for irreparable massive rotator cuff tears. In particular, satisfactory results during the minimum follow-up period of 24 months can be achieved in the cases with good preservation of the preoperative and postoperative acromiohumeral interval and continuity in the inferior scapulohumeral line, regardless of preoperative mobility.  Lee BG, Cho NS, Rhee YG. Arthroscopy. 2011 Aug 26.
