Arthroscopic-Assisted Anterior Latissimus Dorsi Transfer for Irreparable Anterior Rotator Cuff Tear: A Technical Note
Several reconstruction techniques for irreparable tears of the subscapularis tendon have been described with variable results regarding pain relief, functional recovery, and dynamic stabilization of the glenohumeral joint. Because of a more advantageous direction of movement compared with previously...

| description | Several reconstruction techniques for irreparable tears of the subscapularis tendon have been described with variable results regarding pain relief, functional recovery, and dynamic stabilization of the glenohumeral joint. Because of a more advantageous direction of movement compared with previously described transfer techniques such as transfer of the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor tendons, the anterior latissimus dorsi (LD) transfer has been proposed as a potentially beneficial treatment method. This Technical Note aims to introduce an alternative technique for the anterior LD transfer that combines the advantages of a proper muscle release and tendon reinforcement through an axillary incision with the arthroscopic intra-articular and periarticular work, including detachment of the LD tendon from its humeral insertion and reattachment at the lesser tuberosity. |
