Superior Capsular Reconstruction (SCR) Technique
The SCR technique was pioneered by Dr. Teruhisa Mihata in 2007 for patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears. In the SCR study, a 24- to 51-month follow-up on 23 patients shows outstanding outcomes in pain, ASES scores, and acromiohumeral distance measurements.1 The SCR technique reinforces the superior capsule, keeping the humeral head centered in the glenoid by attaching tissue from the glenoid to the greater tuberosity.
