Listen to this summary

The study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and return-to-work (RTW) rates following anterior latissimus dorsi and teres major tendon transfer in patients with irreparable subscapularis tears. The findings indicated that the procedure resulted in significant improvements in clinical outcomes and a high overall RTW rate of 91%, with lighter work demands and intact tendon integrity being key predictors of successful RTW.
