When revising failed double-row and suture-bridge rotator cuff repairs medial failures represent a potential feature. In the presence of a compromised healing environment, patch augmentation becomes a logical adjunct from a mechanical and biological point of view. A reproducible step-by-step revision technique is described that reinforces the weak central cuff area with an absorbable synthetic scaffold.
