A new arthroscopy-based classification system for subscapularis tendon lesions was developed. This system identifies four lesion types, aiding in consistent diagnosis and treatment planning for rotator cuff tears.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Musculoskeletal Imaging

Background:

  • Current subscapularis tendon lesion classifications lack coherence, hindering communication and data comparison.
  • Existing systems do not adequately address bicipital sling abnormalities or the degree of tendon cleavage.
  • A standardized classification is crucial for reliable epidemiological and therapeutic data analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel arthroscopy-based classification system for subscapularis tendon lesions.
  • To provide a system for improved therapeutic decision-making and prognostic assessment.
  • To address limitations of previous classification systems by incorporating bicipital sling and tendon cleavage details.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, multicenter study involving 150 isolated subscapularis lesions was conducted.

Knotless Independent Double-Row Repair and Biceps Augmentation for Anterosuperior Rotator Cuff Tears

Published on: January 23, 2026

  • Arthroscopy with video recording was used to assess the bicipital sling and deep subscapularis layer.
  • Lesion classification was achieved through consensus among four experienced surgeons.

    • Main Results:

    • Four distinct subscapularis lesion types were identified based on bicipital sling findings.
    • Types range from partial fiber separation with a normal sling to complete detachment with extensive cleavage.
    • A 'comma sign' was noted in Type IV lesions involving combined subscapularis and supraspinatus fiber detachment.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed four-type classification system is reproducible and facilitates homogeneous patient group comparisons.
    • It effectively categorizes isolated subscapularis lesions and those combined with anterosuperior rotator cuff tears.
    • Further studies on intra- and interobserver reproducibility are recommended for full validation.
