| description | Purpose: This study will evaluate the outcomes of the combined latissimus dorsi tendon transfer and deltoid flap for the management of irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 15 patients who have undergone double transfer surgery for their irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears. These patients were followed up in three periods. Functional outcomes such as the constant score (CS), subjective shoulder value (SSV), and range of motion were assessed as well as radiographic outcomes such as the acromio–humeral distance. Results: Fifteen patients were included in the early and intermediate follow-up while only 8 remained at the latest follow-up. At the early follow-up the SSV (p = 0.001), CS (p = 0.021), and A–H distance (p = 0.008) showed a statistically significant improvement from their pre-operative values. At the latest follow-up, only the external rotation decreased from its value at the intermediate follow-up (p = 0.027). Conclusion: The double transfer technique showed sustainable improvement of the functional outcomes except for the external rotation. However, the loss of external rotation did not affect the remaining outcomes. Trials comparing this technique to other surgical managements or MIRCTs are needed to confirm these results. |
