Transfer of the pectoralis major tendon has been reported as a possible treatment option. The purpose of this systematic review is to critically examine the outcomes of pectoralis major transfers for the treatment of irreparable subscapularis tears.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic review of the literature was performed using search of electronic databases.

The mean age of patients was 58.8 years (range 18\u201381 years) and the mean follow\u2010up was 33.4\u00a0months (range 6\u201380\u00a0months). Constant scores improved from a mean pre\u2010operative score of 37.8 \u00b1 6.8, to a mean postoperative score of 61.3 \u00b1 6.5 (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.0001). Pain scores could not be pooled as different scales were used. Nevertheless, a trend in pain reduction was noted in all papers. Functional outcomes were less favorable in patients with massive rotator cuff tears or previous shoulder replacements. Moreover, the Constant scores were significantly higher in patients following subcoracoid transfer of the pectoralis major tendon compared to patients who received supracoracoid transfer (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).
