Abstract
Rotator cuff (RC) tears represent one of the most common causes of pain and dysfunction of the shoulder. Numerous RC repair techniques have been reported. In this Technical Note, we introduce an arthroscopic double-row repair technique that combines a suture bridge construct with modified Mason-Allen and simple suture fixation to optimize load-sharing and compression of the RC to the footprint. The described technique is ideal for crescent-shaped and large reparable U-shaped posterosuperior RC tears.
