Abstract
The arthroscopic reconstruction of the rotator cuff is currently regarded as the gold standard when a complete tendon rupture occurs. However, many studies have shown different failure rates after repair. We present a technique for a full-thickness acellular dermal matrix augmentation for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Augmentation with allografts has been shown to improve the initial strength of the reconstruction and support the healing and remodeling, which in turn reduces the risk of failure. This technique could potentially benefit patients functionally.
