Large to Massive Rotator Cuff Tears With Only Partial Repair Possible Treated With Human Dermal Allograft Results in Lower Retear Rates and Improved Function Compared With Matched Group Without Augmentation
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of incomplete rotator cuff repairs with and without the use of human dermal allograft patches in patients with large to massive tears. Their findings indicate that patch augmentation resulted in significantly lower retear rates and improved clinical outcomes compared to incomplete repair alone, suggesting that the use of allografts may enhance recovery in such cases.
