The Hybridge Technique: A Combined Technique of Suture Bridge and Biceps Tenodesis and Lateral Corner of Rotator Cuff Interval Stabilization for an Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

Abstract

A rotator cuff (RC) tear is often closely associated with lesions occurring in the long head of the biceps tendon, typically presenting as pulley structural impairment, long head of the biceps tendon instability, and tears at the lateral corner of the RC interval. At present, there are many surgical methods for the injury of the supraspinatus and biceps tendon, but there are many problems such as the number of anchors, the complexity of surgical procedures, and less attention is paid to the lateral corner of the RC interval and the pulley structure. Therefore, we describe a hybrid technique, which uses fewer anchors to repair the supraspinatus and infraspinatus and biceps tenodesis and repair the lateral corner of the RC interval at the same time.
