Data on Tendon Transfer Reported by a Researcher at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery (Superior Capsular Reconstruction Versus Middle Trapezius Tendon Transfer for Isolated Irreparable Supraspinatus Tendon Tears: Static Versus Dynamic...).

A new report presents fresh data on tendon transfer procedures for patients with isolated irreparable supraspinatus tendon tears. The study compares the outcomes of superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) and middle trapezius tendon (MTT) transfer in nonarthritic young and active patients. The results show that both procedures improved clinical outcomes, but MTT transfer was superior in terms of active forward flexion and abduction range of motion. However, further well-structured and prolonged comparative trials are needed to confirm these findings. [Extracted from the article]
