L-Shape Superior Capsular Augmentation Technique Using Biceps Tendon: The Biceps L-Shape Shifting Technique

Abstract Many therapies have been developed for patients with mass rotator cuff tears. Partial repair is often performed in patients with partially repairable massive rotator cuff tears because it is simpler to perform than superior capsule reconstruction. It may, however, result in rotator cuff retears frequently. This article presents our modified technique of arthroscopic partial reconstruction of the superior capsule using the long head of the biceps tendon with a biceps interposition.
