Advantages and Disadvantages of Superior Capsular Reconstruction with Various Grafts

Graft	Advantages	Disadvantages
Fascia lata autograft	•Can be folded to create thicker graft •Flexible, easy to handle	•Donor-site morbidity •Increased operative time
Acellular dermal allograft	•No donor-site morbidity	•Theoretically less possibility for graft incorporation •Possible elongation and thinning •Minimal immunologic risk
Achilles tendon allograft	•Thicker and theoretically more robust •Naturally tapered to provide greater humeral head coverage	•Risk of disease transmission •Immune rejection
