Click On Image to Enlarge

Transfer of the latissimus dorsi tendon is reported to relieve pain and improve function in patients with an irreparable tear involving the infraspinatus and supraspinatus tendons. In its normal position, the latissimus dorsi muscle is an adductor and internal rotator of the humerus. When transferred, the muscle is expected to contract in abduction and external rotation. In their JBJS article, Joseph P. Iannotti, et.al. report on the factors influencing outcomes. In this video supplement to the article, Dr. Iannotti describes and demonstrates his surgical technique.
