The purpose of this study was to assess the mid-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of rTSA with concomitant isolated LDT in patients with an ER lag sign and posterior rotator cuff deficiency.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective cohort study with prospective follow-up included consecutive patients who underwent rTSA with concomitant isolated LDT between 2010 and 2022 with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Primary outcomes included the resolution of ER lag sign, active ER, and the Activities of Daily Living and External Rotation (ADLER) score.
