About

The purpose of this study is to compare functional outcomes of Skillful Neglect & arthroscopic repair of upper border subscapularis tear in La fosse type 1 and type 2 with biceps tenotomy in non-athletes,30 shoulders subdivided randomly into 2 groups, 15 patients in group 1 (patient treated by skillful neglect with biceps tenotomy) and 15 patients in group 2 (patients treated by arthroscopic repair with biceps tenotomy)

Full description

patients are randomized chosen then a shoulder arthroscope is done for all patients with biceps tenotomy but in group1 the investigators are neglecting the upper border tears and in group 2 the investigators are repairing upper border tears with anchors then after the procedure is completed the investigators will follow up by ASES score
