Article Abstract
Although the prevalence of rotator cuff tears is dependent on the size, 11% to 94% of patients experience retear or healing failure after rotator cuff repair. Treatment of patients with failed rotator cuff repair ranges widely, from conservative treatment to arthroplasty. This review article attempts to summarize the most recent and relevant surgical options for failed rotator cuff repair patients, and the outcomes of each treatment, except arthroplasty.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes between open and arthroscopic anterior latissimus dorsi (LD) transfer techniques for treating irreparable subscapularis (SSC) tears.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent open or arthroscopic anterior LD transfer for irreparable SSC tears between February 2014 and August 2020. Patients were included if they had irreparable SSC tears with Lafosse Grade 4 or higher and Goutallier Grade 3 or higher, but without advanced arthritis (Hamada Grade < 3).

Introduction: During the healing process, the functional gradient attachment of the rotator cuff (RC) tendon-bone interface fails to regenerate, which severely impedes load transfer and stress dissipation, thereby increasing the risk of retears. As a result, the treatment of rotator cuff tears remains a significant clinical challenge.
Methods: In this study, a dual-crosslinked hyaluronic acid/polyethylene glycol (HA/PEG) hydrogel scaffold was synthesized using hyaluronic acid and polyethylene glycol as base materials.

The clinical presentation of rotator cuff ruptures varies greatly and ranges from no symptoms to severe shoulder impairment. Clinical shoulder tests are an effective screening tool to identify patients who require early specialist assessment or further radiological investigation, but they are not sufficient to rule out smaller ruptures. Small ruptures can often be managed non-surgically, while larger traumatic ruptures may necessitate early surgical intervention.

Introduction/objectives: Irreparable subscapularis tears can cause severe functional impairment and present significant clinical challenges. Current treatment options include tendon transfers (TTs), anterior capsular reconstruction, and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Each approach has distinct biomechanical advantages and limitations, but there remains no consensus regarding the optimal treatment.

Introduction: Accurate diagnosis of subscapularis tears remains challenging due to the limitations of physical examinations and imaging techniques. Therefore, specific radiological parameters have been proposed as predictors of atraumatic subscapularis tears to improve diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy. These parameters include coracohumeral distance (CHD), coracoglenoid angle (CGA), coracoid angle (CA), coracoid overlap (CO), and coracohumeral angle (CHA).
