Outcomes of lesser tuberosity osteotomy in revision anatomic shoulder arthroplasty.

Background: Lesser tuberosity osteotomy (LTO) is a common surgical approach during anatomic shoulder arthroplasty. Outcomes of LTO have been shown to be similar to subscapularis tenotomy and peel techniques, but little is known about the outcomes of LTO during revision arthroplasty.

Methods: This retrospective case series included 10 consecutive patients who underwent LTO during revision shoulder arthroplasty at a single institution from 2012 to 2016.
