Video Summary
In this video, orthopedic surgeon Michael Amini discusses the lower trapezius transfer procedure. He explains that the traditional tendon transfer for the posterior super cuff used to be the latissimus dorsi, but it doesn't work well for forward elevation and external rotation. Only 50% of people have good outcomes with this transfer. Amini suggests using the lower trapezius instead, as it already works correctly for external rotation and elevation. He describes the surgical technique and emphasizes the importance of proper indications and patient selection. Amini believes that with proper understanding and technique, surgeons can successfully perform a lower trapezius transfer.
