Abstrakt:	Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of the transfer of the lower trapezius with a graft from hamstring tendons in the treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tears . Level IV; Case Series; Treatment Study. Methods: Ten patients diagnosed with irreparable tears of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons, were evaluated retrospectively -preoperatively, 6 and 12 months postoperatively. They underwent transfer of the prolonged lower trapezius with an autologous graft of the knee flexor tendons. Results: The Shoulder Subjective Value increased from 47 (preoperative) to 71 (1 year after surgery), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score increased from 26.63 to 75.24. Pain improved from 7.9 to 2.5 on the Visual Analogue Scale. The mean lateral rotation improved from 31° to 51°, flexion from 84° to 122°, and abduction from 76° to 101°. These results have not changed significantly between 6 and 12 months. Discussion: The transfer of the lower trapezius with autologous grafts from the hamstring tendons showed good results in patients under 65 years of age with irreparable rotator cuff tears . Longer follow-up and a greater number of cases are necessary to confirm the efficacy of the transfer.
