The role of Superior Capsule Reconstruction in the irreparable rotator cuff tear — A systematic review

ConclusionThis review demonstrates that SCR is a useful treatment modality for patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears. SCR was associated with significantly improved functional outcome scores in all studies. All studies reported a preserved or increased mean AHD. The radiological graft failure rate ranged from 4.2 to 55% and the short duration of follow-up in most studies means that this remains an important concern that requires longer-term evaluation.Level of evidenceIV, systematic review.
