The 2-Scope Technique for Rotator Cuff Surgery: Are 2 Scopes Better Than 1?

The 2-Scope Technique for Rotator Cuff Surgery: Are 2 Scopes Better Than 1?

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-sc...
