Arthroscopic Subscapularis Repair Using a Clever Hook and Lasso Loop Technique in the Beach Chair Position: A Simple and Reproducible Guide.

Addressing subscapularis tendon pathology has garnered increased attention during shoulder arthroscopy in attempt to adequately restore glenohumeral force couples. The appropriate rebalancing of force couples of the rotator cuff musculature by repairing subscapularis tendon tears in patients with large rotator cuff tears has been shown to improve functional outcomes while decreasing retear rates. However, subscapularis tendon tears may be particularly challenging to diagnose and present a significant degree of technical difficulty with the description of multiple arthroscopic and open surgical techniques. In this comprehensive guide, we put forth a simple, concise, and reproducible arthroscopic technique using a Clever Hook and Lasso Loop stitch technique for repairing both high-grade partial and full-thickness tears of the subscapularis tendon.
