Abstract:
For a bursal-side retracted laminated rotator cuff tear, simple repair of the retracted bursal-side rotator cuff might be insufficient because the repaired tendon could remain as an intratendinous tear of the rotator cuff. We present a repair method for intratendinous rotator cuff tears using the suture-bridge technique. We believe that this method helps to preserve the remnant rotator cuff tendon without tissue damage and restores the normal rotator cuff footprint in bursal-side delaminated rotator cuff tears.
