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. |
