About

This study is based on the hypothesis that fatty infiltration postoperative is not or only slightly modified after an atomic repair of lesions of the subscapularis tendon according to a new arthroscopic classification.

Full description

After repair of isolated lesions of the subscapularis, it is observed, in nearly half of the cases, a increased fatty infiltration of the subscapularis muscle indicating a probable persistence of the tendon rupture while the Healing failure rate is recognized as moderate (about 15%).

This study is based on the hypothesis that fatty infiltration postoperative is not or only slightly modified after an atomic repair of lesions of the subscapularis tendon according to a new arthroscopic classification.
