Does partial superior capsular reconstruction using autogenous biceps tendon improve retear rates and functional outcomes in patients with massive rotator cuff tears compared to repair alone?
Augmenting arthroscopic repair of massive rotator cuff tears with partial superior capsular reconstruction using autogenous biceps tendon reduces retear rates and improves pain and function.
Use of the LHBT for pSCR to augment massive rotator cuff tears resulted in markedly lower retear rates and modestly improved pain and function outcomes compared with repair alone.
