Double Attack Repair for Massive Rotator Cuff Tears: Superior Capsular Reconstruction Using the Long Head of Biceps Tendon Plus Margin Convergence Repair
Arthroscopic repair of massive retracted rotator cuff tears is very challenging with a high incidence of retears. Many techniques have been described to improve the outcomes of arthroscopic repair.

| description | Arthroscopic repair of massive retracted rotator cuff tears is very challenging with a high incidence of retears. Many techniques have been described to improve the outcomes of arthroscopic repair. In this technique, a superior capsular reconstruction using the long head of the biceps is combined with margin convergence repair aimed at improving the mechanical strength of the repair. The long head of the biceps is used as a superior capsular reconstruction to stabilize the humeral head and prevent proximal migration. Moreover, margin convergence provides an efficient gap filling between remnants of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons to restore an efficient rotator repair in anatomical, biological, and tension-free fashion. |
