In plastic surgery, the reconstructive ladder is a systematic approach used to guide the planning and execution of reconstructive procedures. The use of autologous tissues is preferred in the breast reconstruction process due to the multiple advantages they offer. The latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap has been the therapeutic option of choice in these cases, replacing other surgical techniques because of the high adaptability and low complication rates. We report a case of a 69-year-old female who presented a lesion in the right breast reported as sarcoma, who underwent into an extended resection and reconstructive procedure with a latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap.

Return to Work and Sports After Lower Trapezius Tendon Transfer for Posterosuperior Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.
Am J Sports Med
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yeosu Baek Hospital, Yeosu, Republic of Korea.
Background: Lower trapezius tendon (LTT) transfer has demonstrated promising results for patients with posterosuperior irreparable rotator cuff tears (PSIRCTs). However, there has been no study evaluating return to work (RTW) and return to sports (RTS) after LTT transfer.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to assess the rates of RTW and RTS and identify associated factors among patients who have undergone LTT transfer for PSIRCTs.

Background: A kinetic chain approach to shoulder rehabilitation is recommended. This study aimed to compare muscle activity between the isolated external rotation exercise and an exercise incorporating a kinetic chain approach in adults with shoulder pain. It also sought to identify muscle activation differences with the same tasks between asymptomatic adults and those experiencing shoulder pain.

Shoulder and Elbow Division, Sports Medicine Institute, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY, USA.
Background: Patients undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for rotator cuff arthropathy may present with an external rotation (ER) lag due to posterior rotator cuff insufficiency. As a result, the addition of a latissimus dorsi (LD) tendon transfer in combination with RSA has become increasingly utilized. Initial descriptions of LD tendon transfer involved rerouting of the LD tendon posterior to the long head of the triceps tendon.
