AANA19 Shoulder Access Pass-Massive Cuff Role of Latissimus Dorsi Transfer - Featured Lecture-Dr. Daniel Aldolfo Slullitel, M.D.

Massive Cuff Role of Latissimus Dorsi Transfer - Featured Lecture-Dr. Daniel Aldolfo Slullitel, M.D.

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker from the Argentine Arthroscopy Association discusses the augmentation of the latissimus dorsi muscle in shoulder surgeries. They explain that while isolated massive calf repair yields good results initially, there is a tendency for structural failure over time. They propose two alternatives: performing a latissimus dorsi transfer after rotator cuff repair or adding a graft to the massive calf repair. The speaker demonstrates the procedure and showcases an eight-year follow-up case with positive results. They emphasize the importance of patient awareness and activation of the latissimus dorsi prior to the surgery. Finally, they acknowledge the need for long-term evaluation of these techniques.
