Abstract
The use of acellular dermal allograft in arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction is a promising treatment option for massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. However, indications are limited to a subset of patients, so it is not routinely performed. Therefore, the surgery is technically demanding, although it has evolved in recent years. The authors present a simple alternative technique that addresses common pitfalls. [<i>Orthopedics</i>. 2021;44(3):e458-e462.].
