Editorial Commentary: Superior Capsular Reconstruction for Irreparable Supraspinatus Tear Reveals Improved Biomechanics With a Thicker Graft Placed in 15° to 45° of Shoulder Abduction

Abstract Biomechanical study of superior capsular reconstruction for irreparable supraspinatus tears has lower subacromial contact pressures with a thicker graft placed in 15° to 45° of shoulder abduction. Whether this translates to the clinical situation of massive rotator cuff insufficiency remain...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Biomechanical study of superior capsular reconstruction for irreparable supraspinatus tears has lower subacromial contact pressures with a thicker graft placed in 15° to 45° of shoulder abduction. Whether this translates to the clinical situation of massive rotator cuff insufficiency remains to be determined.
