Subscapularis Repair in Bengaluru at VijaySheela Sports-Orthopedics Clinic

At VijaySheela Sports-Orthopedics Clinic, Bengaluru, Dr. Vijay Girish performs subscapularis repair to treat tears in the subscapularis tendon, a key component of the rotator cuff responsible for shoulder internal rotation and stability. Surgical repair alleviates pain, restores tendon function, and allows patients to regain strength and safe range of motion for daily and athletic activities.

What is Subscapularis Repair?

Subscapularis repair is a surgical procedure to reattach a torn subscapularis tendon to the humerus bone. Using arthroscopic or open techniques, the tendon is securely fixed, relieving pain, restoring shoulder stability, and improving internal rotation. This procedure helps patients regain functional strength and reduces the risk of further shoulder degeneration.

Benefits of Subscapularis Repair

Subscapularis repair offers several benefits, including:

  • Relieves shoulder pain and discomfort, improving daily activity and sleep quality.
  • Restores tendon function, shoulder strength, and internal rotation for work, sports, and recreation.
  • Prevents further degeneration of the subscapularis tendon and other rotator cuff components.
  • Minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques lead to smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery.
  • Improves long-term shoulder stability, function, and joint health.

Recovery and Outcomes

  • Early recovery focuses on gentle shoulder movements and pain management.
  • Physiotherapy and strengthening exercises help restore full shoulder strength and range of motion.
  • Most patients regain basic shoulder function within 4–6 weeks, depending on tear severity.
  • Return to sports or heavy activities is generally achievable within 3–6 months after structured rehabilitation.
  • Successful subscapularis repair restores tendon integrity, shoulder stability, and long-term joint health.
