Biceps Augmentation of Anterosuperior Rotator Cuff Tears

Anterosuperior rotator cuff tears involve the supraspinatus and subscapularis tendons, but repair should be approached as a single entity using the comma tissue as a guide for both tear recognition and reduction. These tears can be challenging to accurately identify and repair, particularly if they are chronic and/or retracted. The authors present their technique for identification and repair of retracted anterosuperior rotator cuff tears augmented using the transposed biceps tendon.

Abstract

Anterosuperior rotator cuff tears involve the supraspinatus and subscapularis tendons, but repair should be approached as a single entity using the comma tissue as a guide for both tear recognition and reduction. These tears can be challenging to accurately identify and repair, particularly if they are chronic and/or retracted. The authors present their technique for identification and repair of retracted anterosuperior rotator cuff tears augmented using the transposed biceps tendon.
