Open transfer of the pectoralis minor through a deltopectoral approach has been described to treat irreparable tears of the upper two-thirds of the subscapularis. We present a less invasive arthroscopic-assisted technique for this transfer. Atraumatic dissection of the pectoralis minor and harvesting of the tendon with a bone chip from the coracoid process allow strong fixation with a double-button device on the lesser tuberosity. This arthroscopic technique allows assessment and treatment of as ...[more]
