Superior Capsular Reconstruction With Autologous Fascia Lata Using a Single Lateral-Row Technique Is an Effective Option in Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears: Minimum 2-Year Follow-Up.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiologic outcomes of arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (ASCR) with fascia lata autograft in patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears (IRCTs) performed using a single lateral-row fixation technique.

Methods: We studied a retrospective case series of patients with large or massive IRCTs for ASCR with fascia lata autograft. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Constant score.
