Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the impact of polypropylene mesh on the biomechanical stability of fascia grafts in superior capsular reconstruction.
Used an ovine model with ten fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders.
Specimens randomly assigned to FA-only SCR and PM-reinforced FA-SCR groups.
Biomechanical testing included dynamic testing and static load-to-failure testing to assess performance.
No significant differences in displacement between FA-SCR and PMFA-SCR groups after dynamic and static testing.
Ultimate load-to-failure, yield load, and final stiffness were comparable between both groups.
