Massive rotator cuff tears: mechanisms and repair methods

Abstract

Abstract:

Massive rotator cuff tears are still an orthopedic problem due to complicated damage mechanisms. Currently, there is still controversy over the optimal treatment and postoperative effect. The main treatments include conservative therapy, arthroscopic acromioplasty, tenotomy, and fixation of the long head of the biceps, repair or reconstruction of tears, tendon transfer, superior capsule reconstruction, and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. This paper gives a brief overview of massive rotator cuff tears to provide a reference for clinicians.

Key words: Massive rotator cuff tear, Mechanism, Superior capsule reconstruction
