Abstract
None:
» Secondary rotator cuff insufficiency is a challenging complication after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty.» Acute tears may be amenable to open or arthroscopic repair in some instances.» Chronic attritional tears are best managed with revision to reverse shoulder arthroplasty, especially in the elderly.» Increased glenoid inclination, larger critical shoulder angle, oversized humeral components, thicker glenoid components, and rotator cuff muscle fatty infiltration have all shown to contribute to tear risk.

Muscles of the Shoulder
3.9K
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.

Muscles that Move the Arm

Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...
