OUTCOME OF PECTORALIS MAJOR TRANSFER FOR THE TREATMENT OF IRREPARABLE SUBSCAPULARIS TEARS

Abstract

Pectoralis major transfer results in improvement for patients with an irreparable subscapularis tear with or without an associated reparable supraspinatus tear. If an irreparable subscapularis tear is associated with an irreparable supraspinatus tear, the results are less favorable, and pectoralis major transfer may not be warranted.
