Abstract
Subscapularis tendon tears occur more frequently than previously suspected. Most subscapularis tendon tears are partial tears that have the potential to progress to complete tears. Repairs of partial tears of the tendon are performed to preserve normal shoulder function. This report describes a combined transtendon double-pulley and simple knot technique for repair of partial articular tears of the subscapularis tendon. This technique incorporates the advantages of transtendon repair, the double-pulley technique, and simple knot fixation.
