Abstract
The superior band of the subscapularis tendon bears the highest percentage of load compared with the middle or inferior band. The load in the subscapularis increased significantly in the presence of a simulated supraspinatus tear. Because a disproportionate amount of force is transmitted through the superior subscapularis, more clinical research is warranted to determine whether tears in this region should be routinely repaired.
