Interstitial Tear of the Subscapularis Tendon, Arthroscopic Findings and Technique of Repair
Tears of the subscapularis tendon have been significantly recognized as a source of shoulder pain and dysfunction in the past decade, thanks to arthroscopic evaluation of the shoulder and biomechanical and anatomical studies of the tendon. Current classification of subscapularis tendon tear is based on insertion site of the tendon. Recently, a classification for non-insertional types of subsc...
متن کاملMRI study of associated shoulder pathology in patients with full-thickness subscapularis tendon tears.
Subscapularis tendon tears are a well-established cause of shoulder pain. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the associated shoulder pathology in patients with full-thickness subscapularis tendon tears using magnetic resonance imaging. Forty-seven magnetic resonance imaging studies taken between 2008 and 2009 with a diagnosis of full-thickness subscapularis tendon tears were rev...
متن کاملThe etiology and assessment of subscapularis tendon tears: a case for subcoracoid impingement, the roller-wringer effect, and TUFF lesions of the subscapularis.
With the advent of arthroscopy and arthroscopic repair techniques, the diagnosis and treatment of subscapularis tears have been significantly advanced. The precise etiologic factors related to subscapularis tears remain unclear. We propose that subcoracoid stenosis and subcoracoid impingement cause a "roller-wringer effect" on the subscapularis tendon. This effect increases the tensile loads on...
متن کاملShort term results of arthroscopic repair of subscapularis tendon tear
Abstract Background: Despite being the largest rotator cuff tendon of the shoulder, the function and clinical relevance of subscapularis pathology has been largely ignored in the literature. Although many studies have focused on subscapularis tears recently, majority of them reported techniques for open repair. The advent of arthroscopy and arthroscopic repair techniques has opened ...
متن کاملSensitivity of physical examination versus arthroscopy in diagnosing subscapularis tendon injury.
The purpose of this study was to examine the accuracy of physical examination in the detection of subscapularis tendon tears and compare it with the gold standard of arthroscopy to determine whether clinical examination can reliably predict the presence of subscapularis tendon tears. This was a retrospective analysis of 52 patients (52 shoulders) who underwent arthroscopic subscapularis tendon ...
متن کاملArthroscopic Subscapularis Repair
An all-arthroscopic repair of the subscapularis tendon has seen signifi cant interest in the past 10 years. As we refi ne our knowledge and arthroscopic techniques in repairing other rotator cuff tears, we are now more capable of addressing subscapularis tears in an all-arthroscopic fashion as well. Th e main advantages of an all-arthroscopic repair of the subscapularis tendon are smaller incis...
