Brief summary

This study is based on the hypothesis that fatty infiltration postoperative is not or only slightly modified after an atomic repair of lesions of the subscapularis tendon according to a new arthroscopic classification.

Detailed description

After repair of isolated lesions of the subscapularis, it is observed, in nearly half of the cases, a increased fatty infiltration of the subscapularis muscle indicating a probable persistence of the tendon rupture while the Healing failure rate is recognized as moderate (about 15%). This study is based on the hypothesis that fatty infiltration postoperative is not or only slightly modified after an atomic repair of lesions of the subscapularis tendon according to a new arthroscopic classification.
