Abstract

Whereas arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction has recently been introduced to treat irreparable rotator cuff tears with encouraging outcomes, graft options and fixation remain debated. The purpose of this article is to introduce a modified arthroscopic technique using the long head of the biceps tendon as augmentation for superior capsule reconstruction with fascia lata autograft.
