“…Recent studies have shown that tendon transfer is effective in alleviating discomfort and promoting shoulder functionality but fails to prevent glenohumeral arthritis with high rate of complications in the long term [12, 25, 28]. The biomechanical rationale for tendon transfer is the restoration of force couples of the glenohumeral joint and normal kinematics of the shoulder [9].…”

Purpose Arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) with the long head of the biceps (LHBT) was performed to restore structural stability, force couple balance, and shoulder joint function. This study aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes of SCR using the LHBT over at least 24 months of follow‐up. Method This retrospective study included 89 patients with massive rotator cuff tears who underwent SCR using the LHBT, met the inclusion criteria and underwent follow up for at least 24 months. The preoperative and postoperative shoulder range of motion (forward flexion, external rotation, and abduction), acromiohumeral interval (AHI), visual analog scale (VAS) score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score and Constant–Murley score were obtained, and the tear size, and Goutallier and Hamada grades were also investigated. Results Compared with those measured preoperatively, the range of motion, AHI, and VAS, Constant–Murley, and ASES scores were significantly improved immediately postoperatively (P < 0.001) and at the 6‐month, 12‐month, and final follow‐ups (P < 0.001). At the last follow‐up, the postoperative ASES score and Constant‐Murley score increased from 42.8 ± 7.6 to 87.4 ± 6.1, and 42.3 ± 8.9 to 84.9 ± 10.7, respectively; with improvements of 51 ± 21.7 in forward flexion, 21.0 ± 8.1 in external rotation, and 58.5 ± 22.5 in abduction. The AHI increased 2.1 ± 0.8 mm and the VAS score significantly changed from 6.0 (5.0, 7.0) to 1.0 (0.0, 1.0), at the final follow‐up. Eleven of the 89 patients experienced retears, and one patient needed reoperation. Conclusion In this study with at least 24‐months of follow‐up, SCR using the LHBT for massive rotator cuff tears could effectively relieve shoulder pain, restore shoulder function and increase shoulder mobility to some extent. Level of evidence IV.
