Zusammenfassung

Vor kurzem noch als „the forgotten tendon“ apostrophiert, werden heute bei rund einem Drittel der Schulterarthroskopien refixationswürdige Subskapularisläsionen gefunden. Für die schwierige Kategorie der retrahierten Komplettrupturen haben wir eine standardisierte Technik entwickelt, die gute Resultate liefert. Für den geübten Schulterarthroskopeur ist die beschriebene Technik reproduzierbar. Die Erhaltung der ligamentären Schlinge des „Kommazeichens“ ist wichtig. Regelmäßig wird auch ein „inferiores Komma“ beobachtet.

Abstract

Previously named “the forgotten tendon”, it has been discovered that subscapularis lesions need to be repaired in roughly one third of shoulder arthroscopies. For the difficult group of completely retracted tears we have developed a transtendinous technique that yields good results. The technique is reproducible for the experienced shoulder arthroscopist. The preservation of the ligamentous arc of the “comma sign” is important. An “inferior comma sign” is also regularly observed.
