“…For their 18 patients operated on in a revision procedure Birmingham and Neviaser [48] found results equivalent to the results of most of the series published where patients had been operated on in a primary procedure. The analysis of objective results were based on the American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) score which is different from the Constant and Murley score (CS) [49] or Constant weighed score [42•] used as measurement tools for most of the published series.…”

Latissimus dorsi tendon transfer is a method for surgical treatment of massive irreparable posterosuperior cuff tears. It partially restores active anteflexion, external rotation, and function of the shoulder but does not significantly increase strength of the shoulder. It is contraindicated in case of pseudoparalytic shoulder; associated irreparable subscapularis tear, deltoid palsy, and in case of associated osteoarthritis, as an isolated procedure. Results are inferior when performed as a secondary procedure compared with a primary procedure. However, latissimus dorsi tendon transfer is an attractive solution to improve shoulder mobility and function of young and non osteoarthritic patients whose previous surgical treatment of massive postero-superior irreparable rotator cuff tear failed. As a primary procedure, latissimus dorsi tendon transfer competes with debridement, biceps tenotomy, and partial cuff repair. In association with reverse shoulder arthroplasty, it restores active external rotation in osteoarthritic patients with active external rotation deficit. New arthroscopic assisted techniques might improve results in the future.

“…[51] For their 18 patients operated on in a revision technique Birmingham and Neviaser found outcomes equivalent to the effects of maximum of the series published where patients had been operated on in a number one method. [52] The evaluation of objective results have been primarily based on the yank shoulder and elbow society (ASES) score which isn't like the consistent and Murley rating used as measurement tools for most of the posted series. [53] One author operated on seven patients in a revision process and discovered modest development of feature.…”

“…Therefore a latissimus tendon transfer may be considered during the procedure to improve post-op external rotation [124][125][126] The surgical options for rotator cuff reconstruction are limited in the young, active patient. These include latissimus dorsi muscle transfer for posterior and superior rotator cuff deficiency (most commonly) [127][128][129][130], teres minor transfer [131], deltoid muscular [131,132], and trapezius transfer [131,133]. In addition, pectoralis major tendon transfer may be indicated in the patient with a deficient subscapularis [131,[134][135][136][137][138].…”
