Glenohumeral superior translation, the location of the humeral head relative to the glenoid, and subacromial contact pressure and area were compared among 4 conditions: (1) intact shoulder, (2) irreparable supraspinatus tendon tear, (3) superior capsule reconstruction without acromioplasty, and (4) superior capsule reconstruction with acromioplasty. Superior capsule reconstruction was performed using the fascia lata.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Compared with the intact shoulder, the creation of an irreparable supraspinatus tear significantly shifted the humeral head superiorly in the balanced muscle loading condition (without superior force applied) (0\u00b0 of abduction: 2.8-mm superior shift [ P = .0005]; 30\u00b0 of abduction: 1.9-mm superior shift [ P = .003]) and increased both superior translation (0\u00b0 of abduction: 239% of intact [ P = .04]; 30\u00b0 of abduction: 199% of intact [ P = .02]) and subacromial peak contact pressure (0\u00b0 of abduction: 308% of intact [ P = .0002]; 30\u00b0 of abduction: 252% of intact [ P = .001]) by applying superior force. Superior capsule reconstruction without acromioplasty significantly decreased superior translation (0\u00b0 of abduction: 86% of intact [ P = .02]; 30\u00b0 of abduction: 75% of intact [ P = .002]) and subacromial peak contact pressure (0\u00b0 of abduction: 47% of intact [ P = .0002]; 30\u00b0 of abduction: 83% of intact [ P = .0005]; 60\u00b0 of abduction: 38% of intact [ P = .04]) compared with after the creation of a supraspinatus tear. Adding acromioplasty significantly decreased the subacromial contact area compared with superior capsule reconstruction without acromioplasty (0\u00b0 of abduction: 26% decrease [ P = .01]; 30\u00b0 of abduction: 21% decrease [ P = .009]; 60\u00b0 of abduction: 61% decrease [ P = .003]) and did not alter humeral head position, superior translation, or subacromial peak contact pressure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Superior capsule reconstruction repositioned the superiorly migrated humeral head and restored superior stability in the shoulder joint.
