Body mass index does not affect clinical outcomes following arthroscopically assisted posterior latissimus dorsi tendon transfer for irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears: a minimum 5-year follow-up study

Arthroscopically assisted posterior LD tendon transfer for PSRCTs leads to substantial improvements in pain, function, and ROM. No significant differences were observed between above-average and below-average BMI groups, and BMI was not correlated with clinical improvements. These findings suggest that BMI may not influence the effectiveness of posterior LD transfer.
