Abstract

Instability of the biceps tendon should be carefully assessed because it is associated with subscapularis tendon tears at a very high incidence. When we repair a transverse tear of the subscapularis tendon, we should widely fix sufficiently strong tissue to support the biceps tendon on the uppermost margin, not on the anteromedial portion, of the lesser tuberosity.
