Case Panel: Partial Rotator Cuff Repair With Footprint Reconstruction
At Advanced Shoulder Arthroscopy: The Cowboy Way, Thomas M. DeBerardino, MD (San Antonio, TX); Peter MacDonald, MD (Winnipeg, Canada); Lance E. LeClere, MD (Nashville, TN); Tal S. David, MD (San Diego, CA); and Katherine Burns, MD (St. Louis, MO), discuss a difficult case involving a massive rotator cuff tear. A dermal allograft is used to prevent humeral head contact with the acromion, and a partial rotator cuff repair is incorporated to maximize restoration of strength and biomechanics.
