Boileau, P; Rumian, AP; Zumstein, MA (2010). Reversed shoulder arthroplasty with modified L'Episcopo for combined loss of active elevation and external rotation. Journal of shoulder and elbow surgery, 19(2 Suppl), pp. 20-30. New York, N.Y.: Elsevier
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)In patients with a rotator cuff-deficient shoulder, a combined loss of active elevation and external rotation (CLEER) can occur when both the infraspinatus and teres minor muscles are absent. A reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) can restore active elevation in these patients but cannot restore active external rotation because there are no other external rotator cuff muscles. We hypothesized that a modified L'Episcopo procedure (latissimus dorsi [LD] and teres major [TM] transfer) with a simultaneous RSA would restore shoulder function and activities of daily living (ADLs).
