Dermal grafts are used for rotator cuff repair and augmentation. Although the in vitro biomechanical properties of dermal grafts have been reported previously, clinical questions related to their biomechanical performance as a surgical construct and the effect of surgical variables that could potentially improve repair outcomes have not been studied.
