Arthroscopic Suture-Bridge Repair of the Subscapularis Tendon-"Inside and Outside the Box" With Preservation of the Comma Sign.

ABSTRACT: The subscapularis muscle and its tendon are of major importance in the kinematics of the glenohumeral joint. Therefore, a diligent repair of subscapularis tears is essential. We describe our reliable standardized arthroscopic suture bridge technique to repair subscapularis tears under intra- and extraarticular visualization and with preservation of the "comma sign." This technique provides excellent exposure of the subscapularis tendon, allows its complete release in the subcoracoid space and ensures a safe and stable repair.
