Abstract:
Massive posterosuperior rotator cuff repairs are traditionally repaired by open latissimus dorsi transfer. Latissimus dorsi transfer can substantially improve chronically painful dysfunctional shoulders. We present a technique of arthroscopically assisted latissimus dorsi transfer which avoids an incision through the deltoid. By preserving the deltoid, a better and faster clinical outcome may be obtained.
