To evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of arthroscopic augmented partial repair (APR) with acellular dermal matrix versus arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) in massive rotator cuff tears. The study included a total of 49 patients with massive rotator cuff tears who underwent arthroscopic APR (26 patients) and SCR (23 patients) between March 2018 and June 2021. Clinical scores, visual analog scores, and range of motion were collected preoperatively and postoperatively until the last follow-up.

Rotator cuff tears are a common cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction. Recent and historical reports suggest that a sizable percentage of patients may experience a retear of the rotator cuff despite surgical intervention. Multiple biological and mechanical factors can influence outcomes after rotator cuff surgery, including patient age, rotator cuff tear size, chronicity, and rotator cuff tissue quality.

Background: Acellular dermal matrices (ADM) are an adjunct in implant-based breast reconstruction. While clinical outcomes have generally been equivocal between brands, a cost analysis between these brands has yet to be conducted. This study reports a single, academic institution's experience with 2 ADM brands in breast reconstruction and provides data on clinical and financial outcomes.

Purpose: To assess the variability in graft biomechanical properties of an acellular human dermal matrix patch.
Methods: A total of 22 strips obtained from 6 separate graft specimens (AlloPatch HD) were tested. Load elongation properties after cyclic loading, including ultimate load at break, energy at break, and extension at break, were tested and compared by graft thickness.
