This study is looking at how best to manage a tendon in your shoulder called the subscapularis during a reverse shoulder replacement surgery. When you have this surgery, the subscapularis tendon is moved out of the way. Doctors currently have two choices: they can either repair this tendon afterwards (Subscap Repair) or not repair it (Subscap Tenotomy). This research aims to find out if repairing the tendon helps reduce complications like dislocation or improves your arm's movement, especially internal rotation, or if it doesn't make a difference. You may be able to join if you are between 18 and 95 years old and are having a reverse shoulder replacement. The study will measure changes in your internal rotation and shoulder function (BOSS Scores) over two years to see which approach is better. The study status is currently unclear.

Study design
