The arthroscopic treatment of rotator cuff tear involves 2 distinct phases: intra-articular and subacromial. We present the 2-scope technique with the aim to simultaneously perform these phases, entrusting them to 2 experienced surgeons, and to obtain possible benefits compared with the classic 1-scope technique. Better nosology of the lesion and a more accurate evaluation of suture passer action (equidistance of the sutures and avoidance of degenerated articular-side tendon areas) represent benefits of this technique. In contrast, the 2-scope technique needs an additional lateral portal and could give rise to an erroneous distribution of costs and surgeons.

Abstract
The arthroscopic treatment of rotator cuff tear involves 2 distinct phases: intra-articular and subacromial. We present the 2-scope technique with the aim to simultaneously perform these phases, entrusting them to 2 experienced surgeons, and to obtain possible benefits compared with the classic 1-scope technique. Better nosology of the lesion and a more accurate evaluation of suture passer action (equidistance of the sutures and avoidance of degenerated articular-side tendon areas) represent benefits of this technique. In contrast, the 2-scope technique needs an additional lateral portal and could give rise to an erroneous distribution of costs and surgeons.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
