“…at 2 institutions. The inclusion criteria were primary ARCR of an MRCT, defined as a complete 2-tendon tear 18 or a tear greater than 5 cm in 1 dimension, 19 , 20 and minimum 4-year follow-up. The exclusion criteria included revision rotator cuff repair (RCR) and missing preoperative clinical data.…”

“…Despite optimistic reports on the effectiveness of SCR using LHBT for LMRCTs, previous systematic reviews were limited by the inclusion of case series studies without meta-analyses [14,[21][22][23]. Additionally, while SCR using LHBT offers several advantages, it is important to acknowledge potential drawbacks, including a longer operation time.…”

(1) Background: Addressing large to massive rotator cuff tears (LMRCTs) poses complex challenges. This systematic review investigated outcomes of superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) with the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) compared to conventional rotator cuff repair (RCR) for LMRCTs. (2) Methods: A systematic search across the MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases until 1 October 2023 identified studies that directly compared SCR with LHBT with conventional RCR in patients with LMRCTs and included a minimum of a 12-month follow-up period. The assessed outcome measures encompassed retear rates, functional outcomes, range of motion (ROM), and acromiohumeral interval (AHI). Risk of bias assessment was conducted via the Robins-I tool. (3) Results: In six studies with 456 cases (210 SCR using LHBT and 246 using RCR), SCR with LHBT significantly reduced retear rates (OR = 0.21; 95% CI, 0.12–0.36; p < 0.01; I2 = 0%). Furthermore, SCR with LHBT showed significant improvement in range of forward flexion (SMD 0.32, 95% CI: 0.09–0.55, p < 0.01, I2 = 39%) and AHI (SMD 0.61, 95% CI: 0.31–0.92, p < 0.01, I2 = 0%) postoperatively. (4) Conclusion: SCR with LHBT is a safe and effective treatment for LMRCTs, reducing retear rates, maintaining greater postoperative AHI, and improving ROM compared to conventional RCR. Additional high-quality interventional studies are needed to confirm these results.
