Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features Patrick Naird discussing onlay dermis grafts as a solution for rotator cuff tears. He mentions that despite numerous articles, there is still a failure rate of about 25% in these cases. Naird recommends using the rotator cuff healing index to predict healing rates, pointing out that tear size and fatty infiltration of the infraspinatus are key factors in determining low healing rates. He suggests considering dermal allograft augmentation when the healing index is over seven. Naird discusses the advantages of dermal allografts over xenograft options, highlighting the reduced inflammatory reactions. He provides a step-by-step surgical technique for onlay dermal allograft augmentation. He concludes by emphasizing the need for further evaluation to assess healing and improve outcomes.
