Evaluating the role of graft integrity on outcomes: Clinical and imaging results following superior capsular reconstruction
Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Feb 07, 2021
LaBelle MW, Mengers S, Strony J, et al. - In this study, clinical outcomes and graft integrity in patients following superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) were retrospectively explored. Researchers distinguished 34 consecutive patients undergoing SCR by two surgeons with a minimum two-year follow-up. They distinguished 35 shoulders in 34 patients. The results of this study demonstrated that, given the high rate of graft failure without a significant difference in clinical outcomes, after SCR, graft healing might not be an independent predictor of success. In patients undergoing SCR, the improved clinical improvement may be due to other known beneficial aspects of the procedure, including partial rotator cuff repair, débridement, and biceps management.
