Editorial Commentary: Shoulder Superior Capsular Reconstruction: When a Systematic Review of a Procedure Can Be Misleading.

 

Abstract


Shoulder superior capsular reconstruction as described by Mihata et\xa0al. achieves excellent results using 6 to 8\xa0mm thick autologous fascia lata. Superior capsular reconstruction using 3-mm-thick dermal allograft is not equivalent and may yield results no better than technically well performed rotator cuff repairs, partial repairs, or tendon transfers.
