Abstract
Medial row sutures placed at the musculotendinous junction are more likely to cut through the tendon than those sutures placed 10 mm lateral to the junction. Even if there is little tendon left, putting the stitches at the junction is a bad idea. In this instance, a single-row repair is better.
