Primary outcomePrimary: Number of Subjects With Radiologic Evidence of Anatomic Healing — 26; 27 Participants
Summary
The primary objective of this study is to assess the clinical effectiveness of two different techniques used for subscapularis tendon repair during total shoulder replacement. The investigators hypothesize that participants who receive a newer repair technique called a lesser tuberosity osteotomy will have lower rates of postoperative subscapularis muscle dysfunction and rupture as compared to those who receive the traditional tenotomy repair.
