Methods: Eleven patients who had rotator cuff tears that were irreparable using standard mobilization techniques, but were repaired using interval slides were reviewed. Patients were evaluated at mean 25.2months (±10.3) post-operatively utilizing a standardized clinical examination and by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Results: American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) and Simple Shoulder Test (SST) scores improved significantly (ASES p=0.0001; SST p=0.0001) from pre- to post-operative. Range of motion in forward elevation and external rotation increased from pre- to post-operative, though not significantly. Strength via manual muscle testing improved on forward elevation (p=0.001) and external rotation (p=0.007) from pre- to post-operative. Post-operative MRI demonstrated massive re-tearing to the original size in 6 patients (55%) and intact rotator cuffs with tissue spanning the defects in 5 (45%) patients. Conclusions: In patients with massive, contracted, immobile tears, an interval slide technique may be utilized as a salvage procedure. Arthroscopic repair of massive, contracted, immobile rotator cuff tears using interval slide techniques can lead to good clinical and satisfactory structural outcomes. Level of evidence: IV.
