Arthroscopic single and double row repair of isolated and combined subscapularis tears result in similar improvements in outcomes: A systematic review
Arthroscopy Jun 03, 2021
Xiao M, Cohen SA, Cheung EV, et al. - The present study sought to systematically examine the literature to present arthroscopic subscapularis repair constructs and outcomes in patients with isolated and combined subscapularis tears and compare outcomes following single and double row subscapularis repair in both of these settings. Researchers conducted a systematic review using PRISMA guidelines. They carried out searches of PubMed, SCOPUS, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for Level I-IV evidence studies that investigated outcomes after arthroscopic subscapularis repair for the treatment of isolated subscapularis tears or subscapularis tears combined with posterosuperior rotator cuff tears in adult human patients. They enrolled and examined 43 articles (2,406 shoulders, 57% males, mean age range 42 to 67.5 years, mean MINORS score 13.4 + 4.1). This study’s findings demonstrate that arthroscopic subscapularis repair resulted in significant improvements across all outcome measures, regardless if tears were isolated or combined or whether repairs were single or double row.
