Abstract
Shoulder superior capsular reconstruction as described by Mihata et al. achieves excellent results using 6 to 8 mm thick autologous fascia lata. Superior capsular reconstruction using 3-mm-thick dermal allograft is not equivalent and may yield results no better than technically well performed rotator cuff repairs, partial repairs, or tendon transfers.
