Tricks to Deal with Poor Tissue and Bone-Dr. Stephen S. Burkhart, M.D.

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, the speaker discusses techniques for dealing with poor quality soft tissue and short retracted tendons during rotator cuff repairs. They demonstrate how to pass a suture tape through poor quality tendons without ripping them and how to mobilize and fix a short tendon using a modified double interval slide and load-sharing rip stop technique. They also address stabilizing loose anchors in poor quality bone by using a buddy anchor or wedging the anchor in with another anchor. These techniques aim to improve the success and strength of rotator cuff repairs. No credits were mentioned in the video.
