Zusammenfassung

Für die erfolgreiche arthroskopische und offene Versorgung von Rotatorenmanschettenläsionen ist der Spagat zwischen einer ausreichend starken Primärfixation bis zum Einheilen der Sehne und der Schonung der durch Degeneration oder Verletzung zumeist schon vorbestehend kompromittierten Biologie der Sehnenheilung entscheidend. Bei den Bridging-Techniken wird hier eine Überlegenheit gegenüber den bisherigen Nahttechniken vermutet. Insbesondere von der Speedbridge-Technik wird eine suffiziente Heilung durch knotenlose und flächige Refixierung des gerissenen Sehnenmaterials erhofft. Diese kann, neben der ursprünglichen knotenlos gekreuzten Doppelreihenkonfiguration mit 4 Ankern, auch in einer knotenlosen V-, W(Kassiopeia)- oder sogar VW-Konfiguration eingesetzt werden. Gemeinsames Ziel ist hierbei eine maßgeschneiderte und das Heilungspotenzial der Sehne möglichst wenig beeinträchtigende Versorgung von Rotatorenmanschettendefekten bei zugleich hoher Anwenderfreundlichkeit.

Abstract

For successful arthroscopic or open repair of rotator cuff lesions the balance between sufficient fixation strength lasting long enough for tendon healing and no further damage to the degenerative or traumatically compromised biological healing mechanism is crucial. With bridging techniques an advantage is assumed compared to the established techniques. In particular with the Speedbridge technique sufficient tendon healing is expected due to knotless and laminar fixation of the ruptured tendons. Besides the originally described knotless and crossed double row configuration with four anchors this technique can also be applied in a knotless V, W (so-called Cassiopeia) or even VW configuration. The common objective is a tailored and tissue preserving repair of rotator cuff lesions with simultaneous high user friendliness.
