Treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tear with dual graft reconstruction: a case report and technique description

Treatment options for massive irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCT) in younger active adult patients are those intended to induce a biologic response and provide mechanical effect. Cellular augmentation such as platelet-rich matrices stem cells may platform healing. The effect of superior capsule reconstruction, tendon transfers, bridging grafts mitigate migration the humerus stable fulcrum arm elevation. A novel treatment option an RCT young patient is combined reconstruction capsule. This construct utilizes dual that share common attachment laterally on tuberosity but separate attachments medially.
