Abstract
Retraction and scarring of subscapularis tears make arthroscopic fixation technically challenging. The ideal arthroscopic technique is still under debate, with new studies examining the importance of repairing the "leading edge." Regardless of single- or double-row fixation, it is our opinion that restoring the native anatomy as well as any concomitant biceps pathology is essential for postoperative success.
