Popis: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) is a popular treatment for rotator cuff tears. Retear after RCR remains a significant concern even with modern techniques. Augmentation of RCR has been described using multiple different grafts, one option including a cannulated dermal allograft implant (DePuy Mitek). The utilization of this implant avoids significantly increased surgical time, allows for augmentation at the weakest area of repair, and does not lead to any wasted allograft material.
