Editorial Commentary: Arthroscopic Subscapularis Repair: Bridging Successful Tendon Healing and Improved Patient Outcomes.

Open repair has been regarded as the gold standard for the treatment of subscapularis tendon tears. However, recent studies on newer arthroscopic techniques and published results of arthroscopic repair have shown promising results. As such, there exists a growing interest in understanding the best fixation technique to obtain successful functional and patient-reported clinical outcomes. While the literature shows superior outcomes after double-row repair for posterosuperior rotator cuff tears compared with single-row repair, the evidence is inconclusive for subscapularis tears. We believe that arthroscopic double-row transosseous equivalent repair of full-thickness subscapularis tears leads to superior clinical outcomes with higher healing rates and will become the standard of care in the future.
