Superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) can be performed using fascia lata, dermal allograft, and long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT). We present a Technical Note combining dermal allograft and autologous LHBT, reconstructing the superior capsule's actual anatomical thickness and augmenting with single-stranded LHBT. The glenoid side consists of intact LHBT insertion and is covered with dermal allograft. The lateral side comprises posteriorly transpositioned LHBT, dermal allograft, and repairable remnant cuff. First, 1 suture-based anchor is used to fix the biceps 5 to 8 mm posterior to the bicipital groove, and tenotomy is done distal to it, while the glenoid side of the biceps is preserved. Second, 2 suture-based anchors are used to fix the dermal allograft at the glenoid side by 1 double-pulley and 2 mattress sutures. Third, 2 SwiveLock anchors are used to fix allograft's lateral side by 2 reverse mattress sutures. The tension and coverage of the graft can be determined by the position of the SwiveLock anchors. In this way, fewer anchors are needed than the conventional dermal allograft SCR and larger footprint coverage can be achieved than LHBT SCR. A better spacer effect may be achieved by combining both biological grafts' thickness, mimicking the intact shoulder's true anatomy.
