Patients with pseudoparalysis and irreparable rotator cuff tears have very poor function. The authors developed a superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) technique for that restores shoulder stability muscle balance, improving function relieving pain.To evaluate whether arthroscopic SCR reversed preoperative in patients tears.Case series; Level of evidence, 4.One hundred consecutive underwent fascia lata autografts; 7 deltoid weakness from cervical or axillary nerve palsy 5 severe presurgical...

Although sports participation and heavy physical work can contribute to rotator cuff tears, many patients expect return these activities after surgery; however, irreparable tears preclude this outcome. A new surgical treatment-arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction (SCR)-restores shoulder stability muscle balance in with tears; consequently, it improves function relieves pain.To evaluate the rates of among treated arthroscopic SCR.Cohort study; Level evidence, 3.From 2007 2014, we...

Background: Arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction was developed to restore stability, muscle balance, and function in the shoulder joint after an irreparable rotator cuff tear. Our objective assess functional radiographic results of 5 years follow-up. Methods: Thirty patients who underwent arthroscopic using fascia lata autograft were enrolled this study. The inclusion criteria tear confirmed by arthroscopy postoperative Shoulder range motion, American Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Japanese...

Background: Short-term follow-up studies have reported favorable clinical outcomes after arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) for irreparable rotator cuff tears. Purpose: To assess whether these positive are maintained long-term and tear arthropathy worsens over time fascia lata autograft SCR. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: This study analyzed data collected prospectively from 34 consecutive patients (36 affected shoulders) with tears who underwent...

Background: Although previous biomechanical research has demonstrated the superiority of suture-bridge rotator cuff repair over double-row from a mechanical point view, no articles have described structural and functional outcomes this type procedure. Hypothesis: The after arthroscopic may be different between single-row, double-row, combined (compression double-row) techniques. Study Design: Cohort study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: There were 206 shoulders in 201 patients with...

Background: Arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) was developed to restore shoulder stability, muscle balance, and function in patients with irreparable posterior-superior rotator cuff tears. Purpose: To assess the effects of concomitant subscapularis tendon tear, which may reduce glenohumeral stability force coupling, on clinical outcomes SCR for Study Design: Cohort study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: In total, 193 tears underwent arthroscopic using fascia lata autograft...

Background: Retear of repaired rotator cuff tendons worsens patient outcome and decreases satisfaction. Superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) was developed to center the humeral head thus restore force couple for patients with tears. Purpose: To evaluate whether SCR reinforcement before arthroscopic repair (ARCR) improves integrity. Study Design: Cohort study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: Thirty-four consecutive (mean age, 69.1 years) severely degenerated but reparable tears underwent fascia...

Background: Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears are common shoulder injuries in baseball players. For some tears, the symptoms can be relieved through physical therapy or debridement without repair. Purpose: To assess whether partial-thickness tear by itself causes pain and muscle weakness Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: We studied 87 university players (age, 19.5 ± 0.8 years; career, 11.5 1.6 years). All data were obtained during a full-participation...

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Hamada Grade and rotator cuff long head of biceps (LHB) pathologies in symptomatic patients with tears (RCTs).We retrospectively reviewed 376 (156 men 220 women; mean age, 68.4 years) who had undergone surgery for complete RCTs. Preoperative plain radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, intraoperative findings were assessed. All cases allocated 1, 2, 3, 4-5 groups correlation severity underlying LHB pathologies.The rate RCTs involving...

Objectives: For irreparable rotator cuff tears, we developed a new surgical treatment—arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction (SCR)—to restore shoulder stability, muscle balance, and function. The objective of this study was to assess (1) changes in functional outcome; (2) graft thickness; (3) rates tear; (4) glenohumeral osteoarthritis during 5-year follow-up period. Methods: From 2007 2013, arthroscopic SCR using autograft fascia lata performed on 37 shoulders with tears. Seven...

Objectives: We have developed the superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) technique for surgical treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tears. In these patients, SCR restores shoulder stability and muscle balance, consequently improving function—particularly deltoid function—and relieving pain. this study, we evaluated whether arthroscopic reversed preoperative pseudoparalysis in patients with Methods: A series 100 consecutive tears that had failed conservative underwent using fascia lata...

Objectives: Sports and work can be a causative factor in rotator cuff tears, so that these active patients expect to return sports after surgery. However, case of irreparable it’s not easy work. A new surgical treatment for arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction, restores shoulder stability muscle balance with tears; consequently, it improves function—specifically deltoid function—and relieves pain. In this study, we evaluated the rate treated reconstruction. Methods: From 2007 2014,...

Objectives: Rotator cuff tears are common shoulder injuries in baseball players. In some severe (i.e. through more than 50% of the cuff’s thickness), conservative treatment does not work well, and surgical is sometimes chosen an effort to ensure return play. contrast, partial thickness rotator do cause symptoms, even during throwing motion. The objective this study was assess whether pain muscle weakness Methods: We studied 87 university players (age: 19.5±0.8 years; career: 11.5±1.6 years)....
