100 Arthroscopic Repairs of Subscapularis Tendon

The sub-scapularis is the largest muscle in the entire rotator cuff and plays a critical role in the stability and function of the shoulder [1,2]. It is known, historically, that their lesions received little attention from the literature and were also under diagnosed [2-7]. The diagnosis is performed with a combination of physical examinations (Lift-off, Belly-Press and Bear-Hug) and imaging and the detection of sub-scapularis in reliable magnetic resonance imaging requires a high level of suspicion 3. With the advent of arthroscopy, more diagnoses of ruptures of this muscle have been made [5,8,9].
