Abstract

The subscapularis (SSc) is the most powerful muscle of the rotator cuff. His role in shoulder stability and shoulder motion is well studied and due to functional and frequent association with concomitant other lesions, the repair of the SSc tendon is always desirable to restore force and stability to the shoulder.
