What this Trial Is About
Latissimus dorsi transfer is an established treatment option with favorable results in massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears, however, it is controversial if earlier motion is detrimental or beneficial to the postoperative goal of reduced pain and improved clinical outcomes. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the effects of slow and accelerated rehabilitation protocols after latissimus dorsi transfer in massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears.
