The impact of supraspinatus tear on subscapularis muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration
Subscapularis MAFI is frequently observed conditions even in the absence of subscapularis tears, and this condition could be affected by supraspinatus MAFI, female sex, older age, and synovitis. However, because subscapularis MAFI does not affect the surgical outcome, surgeons need not be concerned about this condition when repairing posterosuperior rotator cuff tear. Level of evidence: IV.
