"Subscapularis tendon tears are a less common rotator cuff tear and have been considered more difficult to diagnose pre-operatively (both clinically and radiologically), and are known as a "hidden lesion" 5. Accurate pre-operative diagnosis is important, as it affects the surgical approach, and delayed/missed treatment can result in poorer functional outcomes than earlier diagnosis 4."

"The principles of subscapularis tendon repair are similar to general principles for rotator cuff tears. Surgical repair can be performed either open or arthroscopically, with or without augmentation. Salvage operations for complete, chronic tears include anterior capsule reconstruction, tendon transfers (pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, latissimus dorsi), or reverse shoulder arthroplasty if there is glenohumeral osteoarthritis 5."
