Combined anterior latissimus dorsi and teres major tendon transfer with tuberoplasty using acellular dermal matrix for anterosuperior irreparable rotator cuff tears: a technical note

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Anterosuperior irreparable rotator cuff tears (ASIRCTs) which affect both the supraspinatus (SSP) and subscapularis (SSC), can lead to disruption of the transverse and coronal plane force couples of glenohumeral joint.9 This disruption leads to significant functional impairment, particularly in forward elevation and internal rotation and a higher likelihood of pseudoparalysis.4 However, treatment options which could be capable of addressing both muscle deficiencies simultaneously for ASIRCTs remain limited.
