Abstract
» Despite enhanced understanding of risk factors for failure and enhanced surgical repair techniques, the risk for failure of the rotator cuff to heal after surgery is still substantial.» A patient-specific approach to augmentation is essential, with decisions based on tear and patient characteristics.» Augmentation can improve repair strength and promote cellular infiltration, which collectively contribute to better healing outcomes.» Augmentation strategies may improve outcomes in rotator cuff repairs, particularly in high-risk cases; however, there is a lack of consensus among surgeons on the most effective strategies for each scenario.
