Peter J. Millett, MD, MSc, recently contributed his expert perspective to a Healio Orthopedics article examining the role of superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) in the treatment of massive rotator cuff tears.
Superior capsular reconstruction is one of several surgical options that may be considered for certain massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears. The procedure is designed to help restore stability to the shoulder by reconstructing the superior capsule when the damaged rotator cuff cannot be repaired directly. Patient selection remains an important part of determining when SCR may be appropriate.
Dr. Millett has previously published on arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction and the management of irreparable rotator cuff tears. His work has explored the surgical technique and the potential role of SCR as a joint-preserving option for appropriately selected patients.
In the Healio discussion, Dr. Millett joins other orthopedic experts in examining where superior capsular reconstruction fits among the evolving treatment options for challenging massive rotator cuff tears.
