Cable Reinforcement Combined With Biologic Tuberoplasty Restores Muscle Forces and Scapular Strain in an Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear Model: A Cadaveric Study.
PURPOSE To investigate the biomechanical impact of an irreparable rotator cuff tear and compare the isolated and combined effects of rotator cable reconstruction (CR) and biologic tuberoplasty (BioTB). METHODS Eight cadaveric shoulders were tested using an ex vivo dynamic shoulder simulator in forward flexion (FF) an...
