Modified Technique for Arthroscopic Bursal Acromial Reconstruction Utilizing Acellular Dermal Allograft

Treatment options for massive irreparable rotator cuff tears continue to evolve. Recently bursal acromial reconstruction (BAR) has been described as an additional option to reduce pain and improve comfort. As originally described, an acellular dermal allograft is secured to the underside of the acromion as an interposition graft. We describe a modified technique that facilitates suture passage, reduces entanglement, and optimizes contact between the bone-graft interface.
