Overview

Retrospective review shows improved functional and radiographic outcomes in shoulder surgery, indicating effective management of the subscapularis.

Key Points

  • At two years post-surgery, significant improvements were seen in active forward elevation and pain scores.
  • Ninety-three percent of patients exhibited complete healing of the lesser tuberosity osteotomy, indicating effective surgical intervention.
  • An 81% success rate was seen in achieving optimal humeral component alignment, ensuring postoperative stability.
  • Despite 13% of patients requiring cerclage wire removal, their outcomes remained comparable to those without additional procedures.
