| Abstract: | Tears of the subscapularis are much less common than tears of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus. Subscapularislesions are usually traumatic in etiology and occur in younger patients. These lesions can be complete or limited to the superior insertion of the subscapularis, and they may be isolated or occur with other rotator cuff lesions. In most instances, treatment of subscapularis tears is surgical. In this article, we present the clinical and radiographic findings, discuss operative indications, and illustrate our preferred surgical technique for tears of the subscapularis tendon. |
