Optimal tension of fascia lata graft with SuturePatch augmentation in superior capsule reconstruction for irreparable tears of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons
SCR with SuturePatch augmentation restored superior glenohumeral stability and maintained glenohumeral ROM. When the SuturePatch is used to augment the graft of SCR, 30° or 45° of shoulder abduction (equal to 20° or 30° of glenohumeral abduction) may provide the optimal tension for graft attachment to the glenoid medially and greater tuberosity laterally.
