Abstract

acromion allograft Article human massive irreparable rotator cuff tear range of motion rotator cuff rupture semitendinosus allograft semitendinous muscle surgical technique treatment duration
Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears are difficult to treat. Disruption of the rotator cable and joint capsule leads to altered glenohumeral joint mechanics, superior migration of the humeral head, and limited overhead function. A few graft options exist for reconstruction, with limited outcomes data. A newer technique using a hamstring allograft provides benefits compared with other graft reconstruction options. This Technical Note describes a rotator cable reconstruction using a V-shaped hamstring allograft for treatment of a massive, irreparable rotator cuff tear. © 2021 The Authors
