Abstract

Multiple studies have identified the modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors for structural failure after rotator cuff repair. Patient-specific factors such as age, medical comorbidities, and smoking status and tear-specific factors such as large tear size, retraction, revision surgery, and muscle atrophy can negatively impact healing rates. Dermal patch augmentation has emerged as a clinical technique aimed to improve healing rates in complex and revision rotator cuff repairs.
