Summary:The rotator cable is an essential biomechanical structure in the shoulder that is commonly injured in the setting of large rotator cuff tears. Surgical techniques designed to reconstruct the cable have followed advancements in our understanding of the biomechanics and anatomic importance of this structure. Owing to its role in load sharing and stress shielding of the rotator cuff crescent, rotator cable reconstruction offers the potential to reduce retear rates and promote longevity of rotator cuff repairs. The purpose of this article is to describe a technique to augment rotator cuff repair with cable reconstruction. [Display omitted]
