Augmentation of Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair With Cannulated Dermal Allograft Implant

ABSTRACT: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) is a popular treatment for rotator cuff tears. Retear after RCR remains a significant concern even with modern techniques. Augmentation of RCR has been described using multiple different grafts, one option including a cannulated dermal allograft implant (DePuy Mitek). The utilization of this implant avoids significantly increased surgical time, allows for augmentation at the weakest area of repair, and does not lead to any wasted allograft material. Technique Video Video 1 In this video, augmented arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with cannulated dermal allograft is performed on a patient’s right shoulder. Diagnostic arthroscopy is first performed, addressing any associated intra-articular pathology. Preparation for repair is performed in the standard
