Abstract

PURPOSE: To assess an anterior cable reconstruction (ACR) using autologous proximal biceps tendon for large to massive rotator cuff tears. METHODS: Nine cadaveric shoulders (mean age, 58 years) were tested with a custom testing system. Range of motion, superior translation of the humeral head, and s...
