Subscapularis repair in reverse shoulder arthroplasty #ASES #Health

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31743476?dopt=Abstract

Interesting article about the biomechanics of subscapularis repair during a reverse shoulder arthroplasty. I use a lateralized implant for many reasons, so this article is pertinent to my practice and patients. The article found that a superior repair lead to the least stress on the repair. A failed subscapular repair can lead to shoulder weakness after surgery, so a successful repair is important, although controversial. I will consider this technique in the future and I look forward to more articles on the this subject.
