Abstract

|
Irreparable rotator cuff tears are difficult to treat and present a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Among the various treatments of irreparable cuff tear, superior capsular reconstruction has recently been introduced and used as a treatment strategy to preserve the glenohumeral joints biomechanics. Superior capsular reconstruction with autogenous fascia lata is a treatment option to restore the function of the glenohumeral joint by restoring the force couple of the rotator cuff and repositioning the superiorly migrated humeral head to the center of the glenohumeral joint, thereby delaying the time of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty replacement. Although there are many other graft materials, such as acellular dermal matrix, there is a need to confirm the long term outcomes of the superior capsular reconstruction.
