Arthroscopic Superior Capsule Reconstruction for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears: Comparison of Clinical Outcomes With and Without Subscapularis Tear

Abstract

The presence of subscapularis tendon tear affects clinical outcomes and complication rates after SCR. The reparability of the subscapularis affects superior glenohumeral stability; therefore, an intact subscapularis or reparable subscapularis tendon tear is the best indication for arthroscopic SCR in patients with irreparable posterior-superior rotator cuff tendon tears.
