Fixation Rotator cuff repair of shoulder by Patch augmentation technique. A Case Report
Abstract: Rotator cuff repair has excellent outcomes for many patients but continues to be suboptimal for large, retracted tears, and revision procedures. In certain circumstances, augmentation may be explored to aid healing. This is a case study. A 61-yearold man with a 3-month history of left shoulder arthroscopic subacromal decompression with bursectomy, acromioplasty, rotator cuff repair with patch augmentation, strengthening with bio synthetic graft fleece, and ACJ excision. After a physical examination, the left shoulder was found to have active forward elevation of 130 degrees and passive forward elevation of 150 degrees, pain in the periscapular region, rotator cuff strength of 4/5, and distal neurovascular integrity. Finally, the patient is pleased with the results of the operation, and he now has a decent functional range of motion, although he still has weak muscles and severe scapular discomfort
