Abstract
Rotator cuff tears continue to be a challenge for the shoulder surgeon since there is still a high rate of retears. To increase the rate of repair and decrease the number of retears, we present a technique, in which we reinforce a tension-free double-row repair of the supraspinatus with reconstruction of the superior capsule with the long head of the biceps (LHB). With this reinforcement of the cuff suture using the LHB, we increase both the biomechanics and biology of the repair and decrease the rate of reruptures.
