Massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears in younger, more active patients present a unique treatment challenge to shoulder surgeons. In the past few years, new techniques continue to emerge to address this challenging problem. The superior capsular reconstruction technique has been accepted as an option for addressing this problem. While initial results are encouraging, pitfalls remain regarding technical challenges, healing and protracted rehabilitation due to delayed motion protocols. We present an alternative approach to the massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears using a biologic interpositional humeral -based graft.
