Abstract:
A large-to-massive rotator cuff tear is a complicated disease for an orthopedic surgeon to get the best results and prevent complications like retears or progression to arthropathy. Although there are several surgical options for managing these tears, there is still no gold standard treatment. The key point in the solution would be preventing the upward migration of the humeral head to create a biomechanically stable joint to promote rotator cuff healing. In this article, we introduced a technique called an acromiograft, in which the allograft is attached to the undersurface of the acromion.
