Question: Considering the rotator cuff injury and foreign body removal, an open procedure was done. This was done through this former saber incision, carried long lateral aspect of the acromion anteriorly and then dissecting down to the deltoid and splitting the deltoid in anterolateral plane into the subacromial space. Small part of the anterior deltoid was removed off of the acromion. The findings were large loose calcific mass in the subacromial space. This was debrided and removed. Large rotator cuff tears with fairly degenerative tendon in the anterior supraspinatus and the tear of the infraspinatus tendon. There were multiple free strands of sutures identified and removed. These were Ticron type sutures. No anchors were identified after thorough probing intraarticular and around the subscapularis area and supraspinatus tendon. The tendon was then repaired to the tuberosity. After freshening the tuberosity, removing of soft tissue and placing two anchors. It was an L-shape repair delivering the subscapularis and supraspinatus anteriorly to the first anchor and the posterior aspect closing with the second anchor and tuberosity followed by absorbable sutures of the longitudinal split. An acromioplasty was performed by taking the anterior-third of the acromion down using the oscillating saw and contouring with the rongeur and the saw. No impingement was identified afterwards. The wound was then flushed thoroughly, evacuated, and closed in layered fashion with the Vicryl sutures for deep and subcutaneous followed by Mastisol and Steri-Strips." Florida Subscriber Answer:
