Subscapularis Repair Augmentation for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

During shoulder replacement surgery, the subscapularis (rotator cuff muscle) is sometimes repaired back again. This will be stitched and augmented with a BioBrace. The Biobrace is a biocomposite scaffold meaning both synthetic and biologic, compared to other traditional implants that are either synthetic or biologic. The stitch in the BioBrace group will be anchored to and reinforced by this material.
