Abstract
Instrument breakage during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a rare complication of shoulder arthroscopy, especially when the broken instrument has been left inside the tendon part of the rotator cuff. We propose a combined arthroscopy and fluoroscopic guidance technique to ease the removal of the broken instrument and repair the torn rotator cuff after removal.
