Abstract
The Authors describe their arthroscopic technique for latissimus dorsi tendon transfer as treatment for irreparable subscapularis tears. This technique can be standardized by following precise steps and the Authors describe how to follow the fundamental steps and a number of measures to be used to avoid complications. They conclude by describing the advantages of this arthroscopic technique over the tried-and-tested classic open technique.
