【 摘 要 】

Tendon transfers of the shoulder can be technically challenging, but if performed well can significantly improve the quality of a patient’s life. Surgical skill is essential, but just as important is proper patient selection. Despite advances in surgical techniques and equipment, failure to heal may occur after rotator cuff tear (RCT) repair and may not be amenable to revision surgery. This review, structured in three sections, is designed to investigate current literature on transfers, over the last five years, on irreparable posterosuperior RCTs, anterosuperior RCTs and transfers with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA).
