Acute massive rotator cuff rupture with posterior shoulder dislocation: arthroscopic novel repair of a rare injury. A case report

Arthroscopic Reduction of a Missed/Neglected Anterior Shoulder Dislocation and Concomitant Repair of the Rotator Cuff Tendon

“… 1 In case of a neglected dislocation with a concomitant reparable rotator cuff tear that presents within the first 1 month, a reduction of the dislocation with a repair of the rotator cuff tendon is a reasonable and preferred option. 3 If the reduction of the humeral head can be achieved arthroscopically, the subsequent repair of the rotator cuff may also be performed through the same arthroscopic approach, thus avoiding the hassle of open approach solely for the purpose of dislocation reduction. This arthroscopic approach is a significant advantage for those orthopaedic surgeons who are adept at repairing rotator cuff tears only arthroscopically.…”
