Randomized Controlled TrialResults after primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty with and without subscapularis repair: a prospective-randomized trial.
Indications for reverse shoulder arthroplasties (rTSA) have increased since their development by Paul Grammont in 1985. Prosthesis design was enhanced over time, but the management of the tendon of the M. subscapularis (SSC-tendon) in primary rTSA is still a controversial subject with regard to perform a refixation or not. ⋯ SSC-tendon repair in rTSA improves CS and internal rotation 12 months after surgery.
