Editorial Commentary: Is the Biceps Tendon a Valid Option for Augmentation in Rotator Cuff Repair? Future Perspectives on Superior Capsule Reconstruction.

Biceps autograft can be a viable option for biological augmentation of massive rotator cuff repair, albeit results of this procedure might depend on the surgical technique. In the present qualitative systematic review, 8 case series were analyzed, in which biceps autograft was used as a scaffold or tissue bridge. Indeed, leaving the proximal portion intact and fixing it onto the greater tuberosity can simulate a superior capsule reconstruction, with potentially high biologic and mechanical advantages.
