The native humerus and scapula bones are prepared using precise machining to accommodate their respective implants. At the end of the procedure, the subscapularis muscle is typically repaired, although some surgeons advocate not repairing this muscle due to the excess tension placed on it by the altered mechanics of the reverse shoulder design.

conjoint tendon of shoulder i.e short head of the biceps and coracobrachialis, acting as a sling on the subscapularis and capsule with the arm abducted and externally rotated; increasing or restoring the glenoid bone; and; repair of the capsule to the stump of coracoacromial ligament. [2]
Arthroscopic SLAP Lesion (type 2) repair. Following inspection and determination of the extent of injury, the basic labrum repair is as follows. [citation needed] The glenoid and labrum are roughened to increase contact surface area and promote re-growth. Locations for the bone anchors are selected based on number and severity of tear.
There are a few major approaches to access the shoulder joint. The first is the deltopectoral approach, which saves the deltoid, but requires the subscapularis to be cut. [4] The second is the transdeltoid approach, which provides a straight on approach at the glenoid; however, the deltoid is put at risk for potential damage. [4]
The subscapularis is covered by a dense fascia which attaches to the scapula at the margins of the subscapularis' attachment (origin) on the scapula. [1] The muscle's fibers pass laterally from its origin before coalescing into a tendon of insertion. [citation needed] The tendon intermingles with the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint capsule. [1]
With age, circulation to the rotator cuff tendons decreases, impairing natural ability to repair, increasing risk for tear. Another potential contributing cause is impingement syndrome , the most common non-sports related injury and which occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles become irritated and inflamed while passing through the ...
It’s little surprise, then, that McChrystal now spends much of his private life advocating for the adoption of a national service standard in the U.S., which would help repair America’s ...
Erb's palsy is a paralysis of the arm caused by injury to the upper group of the arm's main nerves, specifically the severing of the upper trunk C5–C6 nerves. These form part of the brachial plexus, comprising the ventral rami of spinal nerves C5–C8 and thoracic nerve T1.
