Superior Capsular Repair (SCR)
A novel procedure for patients with rotator cuff tears.
Many of these patients have torn the cuff again after surgery or have tears that cannot be repaired. They see their only option as accepting the shoulder or having a shoulder replacement, which involves a large scar and a long rehab process. We can rebuild the rotator cuff using an arthroscopic procedure called ‘Superior Capsular Repair’ (SCR). Once an experimental surgery, SCR has been done in thousands of cases around the world. It can be done arthroscopic surgery as an outpatient. I have done this procedure since 2017 and believe it can reliably improve the condition of the shoulder where other doctors have given little hope. The video is the story of one of my patients who is a very, very active golfer. He has actually now had it done on both sides.
