• This trial gives head-to-head, randomized data on a long-debated technical question in shoulder arthroplasty — whether to tenotomize or osteotomize the subscapularis — rather than relying on retrospective comparisons. • The findings suggest a trade-off: ST is faster in the OR, while LTO shows a modestly higher rate of confirmed healing, but neither advantage translated into a difference in 1-year clinical outcomes or motion. • For trainees, this reinforces that subscapularis management choice can reasonably be guided by surgeon preference and efficiency considerations, since both techniques yield comparable functional results in primary osteoarthritis patients undergoing TSA.
