Subscapularis Tendon Integrity: An Examination of Shoulder Index Tests

Integrity of the Subscapularis Tendon after Open Surgery for the Treatment of Anterior Shoulder Instability: a Clinical and Radiological Evaluation

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the integrity of the subscapularis tendon by strength, function and magnetic resonance imaging after deltopectoralis access for anterior shoulder instability. METHODS 20 patients with anterior shoulder instability have been evaluated. Minimum follow-up was 12 months, with a mean of 40 months. Only male patients were included, with a mean of age of 29 years (20 - 42 years...

Glenohumeral joint motion after subscapularis tendon repair: an analysis of cadaver shoulder models

BACKGROUND As for the surgical treatment of the rotator cuff tears, the subscapularis tendon tears have recently received much attention for the mini-open or arthroscopic repair. The results of surgical repair for the subscapularis tendon tear are satisfactory, but the range of external rotation is reported to be restricted after the repair. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the range o...

Subscapularis Tendon Repair Options

The subscapularis footprint: an anatomic study of the subscapularis tendon insertion.

PURPOSE Arthroscopic repair of the subscapularis tendon has become more prevalent in recent years. Tears of the subscapularis insertion can be measured arthroscopically when the size of the average subscapularis tendon insertion is known. This anatomic study was performed to measure the dimensions and describe the anatomy of the subscapularis footprint. METHODS A total of 6 male and 6 female ...
