Superior Capsular Reconstruction (SCR)

Treat irreparable rotator cuff tears arthroscopically with Superior Capsular Reconstruction

Superior Capsular Reconstruction (SCR) recreates the superior capsule by connecting the superior glenoid to the humerus and adjacent tendon using a 3 mm ArthroFLEX^®* SCR human dermal allograft. This provides a supplemental covering to the glenohumeral joint that helps keep the humeral head centered on the glenoid.
