Reinforced Polyester Patch Augmentation Improves Biomechanical Properties of Thin Fascia Lata Grafts for Superior Capsule Reconstruction

Teruhisa Mihata, Christen E. Chalmers, Joseph Carbone, Mauro Maniglio et al.

Short summary

Augmenting thin fascia lata grafts with a reinforced polyester patch significantly increases their linear stiffness (85.0 ± 4.4 N/mm vs. 51.4 ± 5.6 N/mm) and ultimate load (1144 ± 61 N vs. 435 ± 59 N) compared to unaugmented thin grafts, achieving strength comparable to thick grafts.
