Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction for Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears Results in Significant Improvements in Patient Reported Outcomes and Range of Motion: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purposes of this study were to evaluate the clinical outcomes (with the minimum mean follow-up period of 2 years) of arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (ASCR) using different grafts for massive irreparable rotator cuff tears (MIRCTs) and to explore whether margin convergence in ASCR affects range of motion (ROM) outcomes.

Methods

This systematic review was registered in PROSPERO and was then conducted following PRISMA guidelines by searching the databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library database before April 2021. These literature searches investigating the clinical outcomes of ASCR were included. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed using the MINORS criteria. The data, including margin convergence, patient
