“…In that study, the mean Constant-Murley score improved from 24.5 preoperatively to 86.9 at a mean follow-up duration of 18.6 months, and only two cases of adhesive capsulitis were recorded. 8 To the best of our knowledge, the present work is the first clinical application of this novel transosseous device on deltoid-splitting rotator cuff repairs. We evaluated 70 patients who underwent this novel transosseous suture repair of a full-thickness rotator cuff tear with the deltoid-splitting approach.…”

“…5,6 Several studies have shown that, regardless of the surgical approach used (e.g., open repair, mini-open repair with a deltoid-splitting, and arthroscopic repair), transosseous techniques are able to obtain a better functional reconstruction and pain free compared to other methods for rotator cuff repair. 3,7,8 Therefore, there are several instrument options to perform transosseous technique like the bone needle, ArthroTunneler™, drill guide þ 3 Kirshner (K)-wires, and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) guide. [9][10][11] Herein, a novel implantable transosseous device (Sharc-FT ® , NCS Lab Srl, Modena, Italy) is used for rotator cuff surgery.…”

Purpose: Despite the improvements in the repair equipment techniques of rotator cuff, a gold standard method has not been defined yet and transosseous fixation through deltoid-splitting (mini-open) approach is still regarded as a good option. The primary purpose of this study is to present satisfactory clinical and functional outcomes with a novel transosseous device in full-thickness rotator cuff tear through deltoid-splitting. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was performed on 70 consecutive patients who underwent surgery by a single surgeon from June 2014 to June 2016 for a full-thickness rotator cuff tear and was managed with a novel transosseous device. Total number of patients, mean age, percentage of male and female patients, mean duration of follow-up, percentage of involvement of the dominant extremity, affected shoulder, and tear size were recorded. Functional and clinical outcomes were assessed baseline and postoperatively at 3 and 6 months and final follow-up using Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (Q-DASH) and Constant-Murley scores. Results: A total of 70 (49 (70%) female, 21 (30%) male) patients whose mean age was 58.66 ± 9.19 (38–77) years were included. The mean surgery time was 35.33 ± 5.34 (28–55) min. The mean follow-up time was 28.31 ± 3.03 (24–36) months. According to the DeOrio and Cofield classification, 15 (21.43%) tears were small, 33 (47.14%) medium, 16 (22.86%) large, and 6 (8.57%) massive. By the final follow-up, the mean Constant-Murley score had significantly improved from 27.67 ± 7.46 (13–41) to 81.25 ± 3.77 (74–87; p = 0.0001) and the Q-DASH score had decreased from 82.34 ± 10.37 (65.91–100) to 10.28 ± 6.88 (0–23.45; p = 0.0001). There were no significant differences in the Constant-Murley or Q-DASH score at baseline–final follow-up between the small, medium, large, and massive tear groups ( p > 0.05). Conclusions: Treatment of full-thickness rotator cuff tear using this novel transosseous device significantly improved functional and clinical scores. However, further long-term prospective randomized multicenter trials involving comparative studies are necessary to confirm these findings.

“…This device allows one to obtain arthroscopic transosseous sutures with cortical fixation; create a traction-compression lateral suture inside the footprint; greatly reduce the problems of poor bone resistance; decrease motion at the tendon-footprint interface, improving fatigue resistance; and make the stress load distribution at the footprint homogeneous, therefore optimizing biological healing. 7 Our first experience in the clinical application of the arthroscopic technique using the transosseous suture system has shown encouraging clinical outcomes, 6 confirming its efficacy. The patient satisfaction rate was high, and no patient expressed concern about the implant.…”

Transosseous rotator cuff tear repair was first described in 1944. Over the years, it has represented the gold standard for such lesions. Through open and mini-open approaches, as well as the arthroscopic approach, the transosseous repair system represents one of the most reliable surgical techniques from a biological and mechanical perspective. Nevertheless, further improvements are required. This article describes an arthroscopic rotator cuff tear transosseous repair system, developed in collaboration with NCS Lab (Carpi, Italy): the Sharc-FT using the Taylor Stitcher. Our first experience in the clinical application of the arthroscopic technique using the transosseous suture system has shown encouraging clinical outcomes, confirming its efficacy. The patient satisfaction rate was high, and no patient expressed concern about the implant. The complication rate was very low. By improving the suture technique in the treatment of rotator cuff tears, a remarkable increase in the success rate in the treatment of this pathology could be reached; nevertheless, complications such as retears of the rotator cuff still occur.
