Augmentation with onlay dermal allografts may enhance rotator cuff repair
In recent years, one approach that has gained traction involves the utilization of grafts, such as xenografts, synthetic grafts and allografts, to augment the reparative process. The primary objective of this technique is to enhance the structural integrity of the repair and improve postoperative outcomes.
