Arthroscopic Superior Capsule Reconstruction With Fascia Lata Autograft And In-Situ Biceps Tendon Augmentation: Feasible Outcomes After Minimum Two-Year Follow-Up.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the preliminary functional and radiographic outcomes after arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) with long head of biceps tendon (LHBT) augmentation for irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCTs).

Methods

Retrospective review of medical records was conducted in patients receiving unilateral SCR with fascia lata autograft and LHBT augmentation for irreparable RCTs between January 2016 and March 2019. LHBT was adopted when the integrity was intact or partial tear was less than 50% in width. We used all-suture anchors for folded graft patch fixation with 2 in supraglenoid fossa and another 2 plus two knotless anchors via compression suture-bridging technique in greater tuberosity. Reinforced fixation with side-to-side suture was added between infr
