Management of the subscapularis tendon is a crucial step during the approach for total shoulder arthroplasty. The method of mobilizing the tendon and the technique used to repair it determine the initial integrity of the subscapularis and impact its capacity to heal. Currently, there exist 3 well-described and well-studied approaches to managing and repairing the subscapularis: subscapularis tenotomy, subscapularis peel, and lesser tuberosity osteotomy. More recently, a subscapularis-sparing approach has been proposed as an option. There is debate in the literature regarding which technique provides optimal strength and stability for subscapularis repair following shoulder arthroplasty. In this symposium, we provide an overview of each of the techniques and review the biomechanical studies comparing them.

The deltopectoral exposure has earned the reputation as the “workhorse” approach to the shoulder. Due to the reproducible anatomy and its extensile nature, there is little debate when considering exposure in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Despite this consensus, there is still significant variability in management of the subscapularis. Several repair techniques including a subscapularis tenotomy, peel, and lesser tuberosity osteotomy (LTO) have been developed to ensure healing and optimize function. This article focuses on performing a LTO in anatomic TSA. We will review the surgical technique and advantages in exposure in addition to biomechanical and clinical outcomes.

Background Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty is a viable treatment option for patients with glenohumeral arthritis and an intact rotator cuff with successful outcomes. However, one complication is rupture of the subscapularis tendon postoperatively. Controversy exists regarding the optimal technique of subscapularis tendon management. The purpose of the present article is to review subscapularis peel repair method. Methods The current literature on anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty and subscapularis peel was reviewed to determine the viability of the repair technique. Results Both biomechanical and clinical studies have demonstrated advantages and disadvantages of the subscapularis peel technique, most often by way of direct comparison with lesser tuberosity osteotomy, without consensus as to a superior repair method. Discussion The subscapularis peel repair in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty when performed correctly may yield successful biomechanical and clinical outcomes for patients.
