case_images: Radiographic evaluation demonstrated a complete osteonecrosis and resorption of the greater tuberosity (Fig. 1) with a suspicion of massive rotator cuff tear involving both supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons, without retraction.
case_images: The allograft is prepared with an Achilles tendon split (a), which is inserted in order to reinforce the rotator cuff (b)

case_images: The Achilles tendon allograft with attached calcaneus was then prepared (Fig. 2a). The deep split of Achilles tendon was then sewn into the native posterosuperior rotator cuff to reinforce the repair (Fig. 2b).
case_images: Postoperative arthroscanner shows the bony integration of the Achilles-calcaneal allograft, and a good integration of posterosuperior tendinous graft
