IC 301 - “Get Me Back in The Game”: A Case-Based Roundtable Discussion on Athletic Shoulder Injuries (8/9)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses subscapularis tears and bicep tendon pathology in athletes. The incidence of subscapularis tears is low, especially in athletes. Traumatic tendon avulsion tears are common in younger athletes, while chronic degeneration is seen in older patients. The video explains the clinical implications of these tears, including decreased athletic performance and disability. The subscapularis muscle is closely related to the bicep tendon, so bicep tendon pathology should also be examined. The video concludes by discussing surgical techniques for repairing subscapularis tears, including tenodesis of the bicep tendon and possible corcoplasty.
