Arthroscopic Superior Capsule Reconstruction Using Three-Dimensional Preoperative Planning: Technique Description

We describe a technique using a fascia lata autograft with 3-dimensional (3D) printing to reconstruct the rotator cuff. Prototyping constitutes the construction of physical prototypes with high complexity after virtual studies. Such models increase the knowledge of the characteristics and size of ro...

Descripción
Sumario:We describe a technique using a fascia lata autograft with 3-dimensional (3D) printing to reconstruct the rotator cuff. Prototyping constitutes the construction of physical prototypes with high complexity after virtual studies. Such models increase the knowledge of the characteristics and size of rotator cuff injuries, thus improving the accuracy of determining the correct size of the graft to be used in superior capsule reconstruction. We present a case of superior capsule reconstruction using 3D printing for enhancing the accuracy of fascia lata allograft size and tension determination; 3D reconstruction has never been described in the literature for rotator cuff injuries.
