Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty With or Without Concomitant Latissimus and Teres Major Transfer for Shoulder Pseudoparalysis With Teres Minor Dysfunction: A Prospective, Randomized Investigation
The overall objective of this study is to compare the clinical benefit and safety of two
different surgical techniques of primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for the
treatment of shoulder pseudoparalysis from chronic rotator cuff disease with associated teres
minor dysfunction. The first surgical technique includes a concomitant latissimus and teres
major transfer (transfer group) and the second technique does not include a concomitant
latissimus and teres major transfer (control group).

Inclusion Criteria:
- Shoulder pseudoparalysis due to chronic rotator cuff dysfunction with or without
glenohumeral arthritis.

- Active forward elevation of less than 90 degrees
- Teres minor dysfunction
- Positive lag and hornblower sign
- Grade 2 or greater fatty infiltration of the teres minor and infraspinatous seen on
MRI
- Able to attend scheduled office visits
- Meet all criteria to have a latissimus and teres major transfer
Exclusion Criteria:
