Rotator Cuff Repair With “BicepBrace” Biceps Tendon Augmentation

Massive rotator cuff tears comprise a large portion of rotator cuff injuries, yet their surgical repair is highly prone to failure. In this Technical Note, a biceps tendon transfer technique is described for the repair of massive rotator cuff tears. This method of repair is an easy, cheap, accessible technique created to improve clinical outcomes in patients with massive tears. More research, both clinical and biomechanical, is needed to evaluate the utility of this augmentation with rotator cuff repair of all sizes.
