Muscle forces, humeral head translations, and scapular strains were reported across five conditions: intact cuff, irreparable rotator cuff tear involving 100% supraspinatus and 50% of infraspinatus\u00a0 (Tear\u2010alone), rotator CR, combined rotator CR with BioTB, and BioTB alone. Statistical analyses were conducted at three discrete humerothoracic elevation angles.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n The Tear\u2010alone model produced significant alterations in muscle loading during FF, with supraspinatus forces increased (up to +75% at 30\u00b0,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.002), and middle deltoid and infraspinatus reduced (\u221251% and \u221236%,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.05) relative to intact. During SPA, increased loading was primarily observed in the anterior deltoid (up to +63%,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.01). Rotator CR and combined rotator CR with BioTB restored muscle forces to near intact levels (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009>\u2009.05), whereas isolated BioTB resulted in persistent deviations from intact across both motion planes (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.05). Humeral head translations were unchanged across all conditions (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009>\u2009.05). Scapular strain differences were region\u2010 and motion\u2010specific, with significant increases in Zone 3B during SPA in Tear\u2010alone (+89.8\u2009\u00b1\u200949.7\u2009\u03bc\u03b5;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.014) and BioTB (+104.4\u2009\u00b1\u200957.2\u2009\u03bc\u03b5;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.013) relative to intact, while FF showed minimal strain differences, limited to higher strain in rotator CR compared with combined rotator CR with BioTB and BioTB at 70\u00b0 (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Combined CR with BioTB resulted in more favorable muscle force patterns than isolated tuberoplasty and improved strain distribution compared with CR alone, when assessed against the intact cuff state.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Clinical Relevance<\/jats:title>\n This study provides evidence supporting rotator CR combined with BioTB as a promising approach for irreparable rotator cuff tears.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/arj.70530","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,22]],"date-time":"2026-09-22T15:28:14Z","timestamp":1790090894000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cable Reinforcement Combined With Biologic Tuberoplasty Restores Muscle Forces and Scapular Strain in an Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear Model: A Cadaveric Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3029-134X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad","family":"Haddara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Macquarie University Translational Orthopaedic Research Laboratory (MQ TOR Lab), Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences Macquarie University New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Natalie","family":"Guggenbach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Macquarie University Translational Orthopaedic Research Laboratory (MQ TOR Lab), Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences Macquarie University New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kevin","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Macquarie University Translational Orthopaedic Research Laboratory (MQ TOR Lab), Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences Macquarie University New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Antonia Rosanna","family":"Pena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Macquarie University Translational Orthopaedic Research Laboratory (MQ TOR Lab), Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences Macquarie University New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justine","family":"Fleurette","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Macquarie University Translational Orthopaedic Research Laboratory (MQ TOR Lab), Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences Macquarie University New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janos","family":"Tomka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Macquarie University Translational Orthopaedic Research Laboratory (MQ TOR Lab), Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences Macquarie University New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1182-9776","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Desmond","family":"Bokor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Macquarie University Translational Orthopaedic Research Laboratory (MQ TOR Lab), Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences Macquarie University New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manik","family":"Dham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Global Research and Development Arthrex, Inc.
