Arthroscopic Compaction Bone Grafting for Uncontained Bone Defects of the Greater Tuberosity Associated With a Rotator Cuff Retear

Abstract

Revision rotator cuff repair is a technically demanding procedure that can be complicated by the presence of large peri-implant cysts. When multiple suture anchors are encountered, massive bone defects may need to be addressed to ensure that tendonebone fixation and healing can be optimized. This Technical Note discusses arthroscopic compaction bone grafting for massive uncontained bone defects of the greater tuberosity associated with revision rotator cuff repair.
