Pectoralis major transfer over vs. under the conjoint tendon for the treatment of irreparable subscapularis rupture: a systematic review comparing clinical outcomes, complications, and failure rates
The complication rate, incidence of subsequent surgery, and Constant-Murley Score did not differ based on whether the pectoralis major tendon was placed over or under the conjoint tendon during transfers. However, graft failure rates were greater in cohorts using only the sternocostal head of the pectoralis major tendon, while all other outcomes were similar.
