Abstract
PASTA (partial articular-sided supraspinatus tendon avulsion) lesions are supraspinatus tendon tears involved the articular surface. PASTA lesions are commonly repaired using trans-tendon repair or tendon takedown and repair. Systematic reviews have shown that both techniques can improve shoulder function similarly. The advantages of trans-tendon repair are the preservation of the intact tendon and superior biomechanical strength. However, there is a risk that the tendon will become overtensioned and that the technique will create tendon bunching on the bursal side, resulting in imbalanced tendon tension. This Technical Note describes an all-inside arthroscopic trans-tendon repair technique of PASTA lesion without bunching the tendon's bursal side.
