Abstract
TORRES-LOAIZA, JW et al. Massive rotator cuff injury: arthroscopic treatment with upper capsular reconstruction. Acta ortop. mex [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.4, pp.228-233. Epub Jan 17, 2022. ISSN 2306-4102.
Massive rotator cuff injuries (LMMRs) are those breaks of more than 5 cm either the anteroposterior plane, or lateromedial plane. Some authors consider them to be complete ruptures of at least two rotator cuff tendons. The clinical case of a 63-year-old man with this type of injury that was resolved by the superior capsule reconstruction technique is presented, technical details and some of the literature review to carry out the procedure are shown.
