Book Chapter Description

The subscapularis muscle acts on the one hand as the most important internal rotator and on the other hand as a static and dynamic stabilizer of the glenohumeral joint. Therefore, a rupture causes muscular imbalance and finally decentering of the shoulder joint. With the improvement of arthroscopic techniques and instruments, ruptures can now preferentially be refixated arthroscopically. The advantages of arthroscopic treatment are improved visualization and the possibility of treating accompanying injuries. Nevertheless, arthroscopic refixation is still considered demanding. The chapter gives an overview of the possible complications during a reconstruction of the SSC tendon, such as overlooked tendon defects, neurovascular lesions, re-ruptures, stiffness, infections and thrombosis/embolism.
