Purpose: The purposes of this study were to examine the technique of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscle slide for the treatment of rotator cuff tears and to quantify the amount of release and resultant tendon excursion at their insertion sites in cadavers. Methods: Twelve shoulders in 6 huma...
