Abstract
The treatment of massive, retracted rotator cuff tears remains a significant challenge to orthopaedic surgeons. While debridement and partial repair has been described as a viable option, surgeons seeking to perform a complete repair often must employ advanced mobilization techniques to lateralize retracted immobile rotator cuff tissue. Tears that appear irreparable often may be effectively mobilized with elements of capsular release, anterior interval slide, or posterior interval slide. When rotator cuff tissue is mobilized to the medial aspect of the anatomic footprint, a low-tension repair can be performed with good clinical outcomes.
