Abstract
Irreparable rotator cuff tears can be treated in several ways. Superior capsular reconstruction has been reported as an excellent option, particularly for the young and active patients. We propose capsule reconstruction using the long head of the biceps tendon in a modified way. After its tenotomy at the musculotendinous junction, the long head is rerouted through a humeral bone tunnel and attached to a suture anchor in the posterior aspect of the superior glenoid rim. Further investigation is required, but this modified technique appears promising.
