Superior Capsular Reconstruction

The SCR 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 acromial-humeral distance measurements. The SCR technique reinforces the superior capsule to keep the humeral head reduced in the glenoid by attaching tissue from the glenoid to the greater tuberosity.
