Arthroscopic Transtendon Repair of Partial-Thickness Articular-Side Tears of the Rotator Cuff

Abstract

Arthroscopic transtendon repair is a safe, reliable procedure in patients with grade 3 partial-thickness articular-side tears. In the majority of patients, partial tears of more than 6 mm of the supraspinatus tendon thickness involved more than 50% of the entire tendon thickness.
