Comparison Between 2 Types of Radiofrequency Ablation Systems in Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract: Background: Radiofrequency ablation is commonly used in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR). New technology devices incorporating a plasma bubble may generate lower intra-articular temperatures and be more efficient. Purpose: To compare a plasma ablation device with a standard ablation device in arthroscopic RCR to determine which system is superior in terms of intra-articular heat generation and diathermy efficiency. Study Design: Randomi… Show more

“…Tissue temperature during diathermy using a bipolar arthroscopic RF ablator ranged from 21.8°C to 39.4°C [32]. According to the user manual, the operating temperature for this electrode type ranges from 10°C to 40°C [7].…”

“…Faruque et al in their randomized control trial compared intra-articular temperature profile in standard ablation versus plasma ablation radiofrequency tools for rotator cuff repair. 17.5% of their patients showed temperatures above 45 °C but no significant variations where observed between standard and plasma radiofrequency devices [ 10 ].…”

“…Currently, some studies have tried to assess the variations in joint temperature during arthroscopic procedures on the shoulder and knee, both in human and animal models [ 2 , 7 , 10 , 23 , 24 ]. However, there is still a lack of evidence determining variations in joint and tissue temperature during radiofrequency ablation treatments in the hip joint.…”

“…For example, traction time, traction force, perineal post modifications, postless techniques, fluid inflow rate and fluid pressure have all been studied in attempts to decrease hip arthroscopy complications [ 7–11 ]. One prior study evaluated two different types of radiofrequency ablation wands (plasma ablation versus standard ablation) during rotator cuff repair surgery and reported no difference in diathermy efficiency [ 19 ]. Both wands used in this study ablate tissue via a chemical process at the instrument tip, not a thermal process.…”
