Abstract
In patients who have a massive rotator cuff tear without glenohumeral arthritis in whom surgery is indicated, surgeons should always attempt a complete repair. Interval slides and linked high-strength repair constructs can be used; however, despite advanced mobilization and repair techniques, some rotator cuff tears are not fully repairable. Promising early outcomes have been reported in select patients with a massive rotator cuff tear who undergo superior capsule reconstruction with the use of acellular dermal allograft.
