Here, we describe an arthroscopic method specifically developed to augment rotator cuff repair using a flexible acellular dermal\npatch (ADP). In this method, an apparently complex technique is simplified by utilizing specific steps to augment a rotator cuff\nrepair. In this method, using a revised arthroscopic technique, rotator cuff repair was performed. This technique allowed easy\npassage of the graft, excellent visualization, minimal soft tissue trauma, and full four-corner fixation of an ADP. Twelve patients\nunderwent rotator cuff repair with augmentation using the combination of this method and ADP. Due to the technique and\nbiomechanical characteristics of the material, the repairs have been stable and with high patient satisfaction.
