Abstract

Rotator cuff repair in the setting of a chronic tear or poor tissue quality presents a surgical challenge because of the high risk of structural failure. Patients with an increased risk of retear may be candidates for enthesis augmentation with a novel, biphasic allograft, composed of a demineralized cancellous matrix with a layer of mineralized bone. This interpositional graft was designed with the intention to promote both soft-tissue and osseous integration into the matrix, thereby conferring greater stability and regeneration of the transitional zone of the rotator cuff enthesis. Here, we describe a technique for a transosseous-equivalent supraspinatus repair with placement of a biphasic interpositional allograft.
