Evaluates clinical outcomes and return-to-work rates after anterior tendon transfer for shoulder tears, highlighting key predictors.
Anterior LDTM transfer is a reliable and effective treatment for patients with irreparable subscapularis tears, resulting in favorable clinical outcomes and high RTW rates. Overall, 91.0% of patients returned to work (58.2% complete, 32.8% partial) at a mean 5.4 ± 1.5 months across all work levels. Lighter occupational demands and intact tendon integrity were strong predictors of successful RTW.
