“Regarding ‘The Superior Glenohumeral Joint Capsule Alone Does Not Prevent Superior Translation of the Humeral Head: An In Vitro Biomechanical Study’”

Editorial Commentary: “Reversomania” Versus “SCRomania?” Another Piece of the Puzzle in the Superior Capsular Reconstruction Controversy

“…1 The testing model used by Hu et al was similar to that used by Mihata et al 4 and differed from Adams et al 1 in that it used a static model without evaluating the force required by the deltoid. In an editorial comment regarding the study by Hu et al, Burkhart et al 5 disagreed with the conclusions proposed by Hu et al, feeling they were "a result of erroneous data from a flawed study design and methodology," provoking an equally passionate defense of their conclusions by Hu et al 6 To a less-than-worthy reviewer, it appears that some difference of opinion may remain regarding the time zero effect of the SCR on glenohumeral mechanics.…”
