Abstract

PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of graft length and thickness on shoulder biomechanics after superior capsule reconstruction. METHODS: Subacromial peak contact pressure and glenohumeral superior translation were measured at 0°, 30°, and 60° of glenohumeral abduction in 8 fresh-frozen cadaveric s...
