- Abstract
The transtendon suture-bridge technique is primarily indicated in concurrent articular- and bursal-side partial-thickness rotator cuff tears. The articular aspect of the footprint is restored using the transtendon technique while maintaining the remaining lateral footprint of the rotator cuff. The bursal aspect of the footprint is restored via the suture-bridge technique using the tied suture stands, after applying the transtendon technique while maintaining the remaining medial footprint of the rotator cuff. Using a combination of the transtendon and suture-bridge techniques, the articular and bursal aspects of the footprint are restored while maintaining the remaining footprint of the rotator cuff.
