Introduction Orthobiologics are biological substances that are used therapeutically for their positive effects on healing skeletal and soft-tissue injuries. The use of such biological agents in the field of orthopaedic surgery has been drawing

orthobiologic treatment options. There are many treatment modalities that now fit this overarching label. These include (in order of appearance over recent decades) whole blood therapy, traditional prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow aspirate

While functional reconstruction of massive irreparable rotator cuff tears remains a challenge, current techniques aimed at recentering and preventing superior migration of the humeral head allow for clinical and biomechanical improvements in shoulder pain and function.
-
Recentering of the glenohumeral joint reduces the moment arm and helps the deltoid to recruit more fibers, which compensates for insufficient rotator cuff function and reduces joint pressure.
-
In the past, the concept of a superior capsular reconstruction with a patch secured by suture anchors has been used.
-
However, several innovative arthroscopic treatment options have also been developed.
-
The purpose of this article is to present an overview of new strategies and surgical techniques and if existing present initial clinical results.
-
Techniques that will be covered include rerouting the long head of the biceps tendon, utilization of the biceps tendon as an autograft to reconstruct the superior capsule, utilization of a semitendinosus tendon allograft to reconstruct the superior capsule, superior capsular reconstruction with dermal allografts, and subacromial spacers.
