Treatment of symptomatic irreparable cuff tear is rare, but
represents a difficult challenge for the surgeon. Tendon transfer
from periscapular muscles group is a therapeutic option. Many
tendon transfers are reported as latissimus dorsi, teres major,
split of anterior deltoid and pectoralis major. The goal of this
book is to remind the biomechanical and anatomical basis of these
tendon transfers and to report tips and tricks and results of these
techniques. A treatment algorithm is proposed in patients who have
both pain and weakness or have loss of active forward elevation or
external rotation. Moreover, tendon transfer can be combined with
reverse shoulder prosthesis in patients with an unstable gleno
humeral arthritis.
