Deltopectoral approach with partial release of the subscapularis muscle in reverse shoulder arthroplasty

Relevance. This article presents the results of a series of patients who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty through a deltopectoral approach without tenotomy or complete cutting of the subscapularis tendon. We believe that the approach we have developed, which allows us to preserve the anatomical attachment of the lower portion of the subscapularis muscle, will reduce the number of complications associated with damage to the area of tendon refixation and reduce the risk of fatty degeneration of the muscle due to early rehabilitation.
