Evidence for Rotator Cuff Augmentation With ECM

Brian J. Cole, MD, MBA (Chicago, IL), reviews his research on the decision-making process for determining if ECM graft augmentation is an effective solution for primary rotator cuff repair. In reviewing the literature on clinical outcomes and considering the economic factors of graft augmentation, Dr. Cole explains how dermal graft augmentation can serve as a more readily used option to prevent retears.
