Key Words	Rotator cuff repair; Massive tear; Interposition graft; Biomechanics; Polypropylene mesh
Core Tip	Our ex-vivo ovine model demonstrates that the use of a polypropylene mesh is mechanically suitable as an interposition graft for large irreparable rotator cuff tears. Its use results in a repair that is at least as robust as an intact rotator cuff tendon. When paired with a continuous suturing technique, its resultant superior mechanical properties may potentially reduce re-tear rates after repairing large or massive rotator cuff tears.
