Summary

The purpose of this study was to report actual percentage of subscapularis tear in concomitant with supraspinatus tendon tear (with or without infraspinatus tear) and investigate the amount of contribution of subscapularis repair as to the outcome of whole rotator cuff repair in terms of its clinical and radiologic aspects.

Conditions

  • Rotator Cuff Syndrome

Interventions

PROCEDURE

arthroscopic repair

If the subscapularis tendon was not sufficiently mobile, further anterior interval release between subscapularis and scapula was performed. LHB (long head of biceps tendon) was either treated with a biceps tenodesis or by tenotomy when there was tear or subluxation of it. The footprint area of the subscapularis tendon, which is trapezoidal in shape on the proximal part of the lesser tuberosity, was thoroughly cleaned of soft tissue and meticulous bone preparation was done prior to placement of anchor sutures.

PROCEDURE

arthroscopic debridement

Anterosuperior portal was made initially for debridement (capsulectomy and anterior bursectomy). A systematic release of the glenohumeral ligaments and the overlying subscapularis bursa was performed.The superior aspect of the tendon was freed from the surrounding structures (the coracohumeral and superior glenohumeral ligaments). The middle glenohumeral ligament was always released to identify the upper border of the subscapularis tendon.
