Clinical and Structural Results Following Arthroscopic and Open Repair of Isolated Subscapularis Tears.

ABSTRACT: Objective: With advances in techniques, arthroscopic repair of isolated subscapularis tendon tears has become increasingly popular in recent years. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical and structural results of arthroscopic repair versus the gold standard of open repair. It is a prospective cohort study with a control group; evidence level III. Methods: In a prospective study performed at two centers, 18 patients with an isolated subscapularis tear were treated with arthroscopic repair (ARG) and 16 patients with open repair (ORG) using a uniform single-row suture anchor repair technique in both groups. The subscapularis function was assessed using specific clinical tests (belly-press and lift-off tests), strength testing and shoulder function with the use of the
