Abstract
Arthroscopic repair of massive rotator cuff tears can be technically challenging but is achievable in many cases. Performing adequate releases are important for successful tendon mobility and avoiding excessive tension in the final repair, thus restoring the native anatomy and biomechanics. This Technical Note provides a step-by-step approach to release and mobilize massive rotator cuff tears to or near anatomical tendon footprints.
