The best management of irreparable rotator
cuff tears remains uncertain, with multiple new techniques
introduced over the past 2 decades. Two options for treatment are
arthroscopic debridement and biceps tenotomy, or the subacromial
balloon spacer. Early trial results favored the former option, but
the 2-year results have not yet been reported.
In conclusion, participants continued to show
better results in the debridement-only group compared with the
group who had debridement with the InSpace balloon. Therefore, we
do not recommend the subacromial balloon spacer for the treatment
of irreparable rotator cuff tears.
