Comment on Arthroscopy. 2022 Jul;38(7):2342-2347. doi: 10.1016/j.arthro.2021.10.032. Rotator cuff repair has benefitted from many technologic advances including the advent of arthroscopy, improved implant materials, and refined repair techniques. Despite our efforts to improve the science of rotator cuff repair, clinical advances have lagged far behind. Graft augmentation of rotator cuff repairs is an emerging and heterogeneous field that has significantly improved both healing rates and patient-reported metrics in initial data reporting. Treatment algorithms that guide the use of this novel surgical modality are of benefit to practicing orthopaedic surgeons. Copyright © 2021. Published by Elsevier Inc.
