2021 Annual Meeting Shoulder Access Pass-Where’s the Subscap?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the identification and repair of subscapularis tears. They mention that subscapularis tears are not as rare as some articles suggest. The speaker highlights the importance of looking for other associated pathologies along with the tear. Physical exam findings such as increased external rotation, weak belly press, abnormal liftoff, and modified liftoff are mentioned. Imaging, especially MRI, is helpful in identifying the tear, and the speaker focuses on coronal views. They also discuss the presence of "comet tissue" and the position of the middle glenohumeral ligament. The video ends with a quick case example showing the repair process. No credits are mentioned in the video.
