Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Mahata discusses how his surgical technique for bio-SCR (Superior Capsule Reconstruction) has evolved over the years to make the surgery easier. He explains that even young doctors in Japan can perform these surgeries with proper training. Following Dr. Mahata, Dr. Giuseppe Milano presents an alternative technique for superior capsule reconstruction using the biceps tendon. He explains the rationale behind the technique and its advantages, such as minimal donor-side morbidity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of management during arthroscopy. Dr. Milano also discusses the use of the biceps tendon as an augmentation for repair of massive rotator cuff tears, as well as techniques for cases where the biceps tendon is missing due to previous rupture or revision surgery. Overall, the use of the biceps tendon for superior capsule reconstruction shows promising results in patient-reported outcomes and reduction of re-tear rates.
