Arthroscopy May 06, 2021

Alarcon JF, Uribe-Echevarria B, Clares C, et al. - This study was attempted to assess clinical and radiological outcomes of arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (ASCR) with fascia lata autograft in patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears (IRCT) performed with a single lateral row fixation technique. Researchers conducted retrospective case series including patients with large or massive IRCTs for ASCR with fascia lata autograft. They assessed clinical outcomes with a visual analog scale and Constant Score. They evaluated the healing of the graft with MRI or ultrasound. They assessed acromio-humeral distance with x-rays. A total of 31 patients with an average age of 61 years and an average follow-up of 35 months (from 24 to 51 months) who had undergone ASCR with fascia lata autograft were included in this study. The outcomes revealed that ASCR, with autologous fascia lata and single lateral row configuration, is an effective option in irreparable rotator cuff tears, with clinical and radiological improvement.
