Abstract
Background
Recently, superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) has been suggested as an effective procedure for treating irreparable rotator cuff tears and for restoring superior glenohumeral stability of the shoulder joint. We present the case of a patient with osteonecrosis who was successfully managed with a combination of total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and SCR.
Case presentation
A 66-year-old woman presented with chronic right-sided shoulder pain. Preoperative radiographs revealed a collapsed humeral head and arthritic changes with glenohumeral joint space narrowing. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed massive rotator cuff tears. She was successfully treated with TSA and SCR using the tensor fascia lata (TFL) graft. At the two-year follow-up, an uneventful postoperative course was noted, and she was satisfied with her good functional outcomes and quality of life.
Conclusions
TSA and SCR using TFL may be performed successfully in non-elderly patients with osteoarthritis due to osteonecrosis and irreparable rotator cuff tears.
