Abstract

Superior capsule reconstruction has shown good long-term clinical efficacy in treating irreparable posterosuperior massive rotator cuff tears. However, conventional superior capsule reconstruction did not treat the medial supraspinatus tendons. Therefore, dynamic function of the posterosuperior rotator cuff does not restore effectively, especially the function of active abduction and external rotation. We describe a supraspinatus tendon reconstruction technique that presents a stepwise approach to accomplish the dual goals of stable anatomic reconstruction and restoring the dynamic function of the supraspinatus tendon.
