Why the study?
Does Anterior Cable Reconstruction using the proximal biceps tendon limit superior migration and subacromial contact without inhibiting range of motion in large rotator cuff defects?
Does Anterior Cable Reconstruction using the proximal biceps tendon limit superior migration and subacromial contact without inhibiting range of motion in large rotator cuff defects?
In a biomechanical analysis, anterior cable reconstruction using the proximal biceps tendon for large rotator cuff defects limits superior migration without restricting range of motion.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Does not support clinical adoption of ACR; leaves open its role in large rotator cuff defects pending human studies.
ACR may improve rotator cuff tendon repair longevity by providing basic static ligamentous support to the dynamic tendon while helping to limit superior migration without restricting glenohumeral kinematics.
