Instrument breakage during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a rare complication of shoulder arthroscopy, especially when the broken instrument has been left inside the tendon part of the rotator cuff. We propose a combined arthroscopy and fluoroscopic guidance technique to ease the removal of the broken instrument and repair the torn rotator cuff after removal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
