Treatment Innovations for Massive & Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears (AANA22)-Superior Capsular Reconstruction & Q&A

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses Superior Capsule Reconstruction (SCR), a surgical procedure used to prevent superior migration of the humerus in patients with massive and irreparable rotator cuff tears. The speaker reviews several studies on the effectiveness of SCR, including biomechanical findings, clinical results, and patient outcomes. Key principles of SCR include selecting patients with lower HAMADA grades, careful repair of remaining intact rotator cuff tendons, and using higher graft thickness. The speaker also demonstrates a technique video of SCR and discusses the importance of extensive patient evaluation and shared decision-making. The video concludes with a Q&A session. No credits were granted. (205 words)
