Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses using the arthroscopic cuff repair (ACR) technique for irreparable rotator cuff tears in young and active patients. They explain that ACR provides a well-defined and constant anatomical structure, which helps with superior hemorrhagic head displacement. The speaker references clinical results that show promising outcomes and a low incidence of complications. They compare different graft options and explain the use of a fascia lata graph, which has minimal morbidity and good strength. The speaker also mentions using a polypropylene mesh for less morbidity and improved stability. They emphasize the importance of joint preservation and reproducible techniques. The results of ACR are deemed to have good indications. No credits are mentioned.
