TL;DR: Arthroscopic SCR restored superior glenohumeral stability and improved shoulder function among patients with or without pseudoparalysis who had previously irreparable rotator cuff tears.

TL;DR: In this 5-year follow-up study, healed arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction restored shoulder function and resulted in high rates of return to recreational sport and work.

TL;DR: The presence of subscapularis tendon tear affects clinical outcomes and complication rates after Arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction, and the reparability of the subscapularityis affects superior glenohumeral stability is the best indication for arthroscopy SCR in patients with irreparable posterior-superior rotator cuff tendon tears.

TL;DR: SCR for reinforcement prevented retear at 1 year after ARCR and improved the quality of the repaired tendon on magnetic resonance imaging and functional outcomes were similar between groups, even though degeneration of the torn tendons was greater among patients who underwent ARCR with SCR.

TL;DR: In a 5-year follow-up study, arthroscopic SCR restored shoulder function and resulted in high rates of return to recreational sport and work.
