Abstract
Tension band repair frequently is used for small rotator cuff tears. This Technical Note describes a variation using a single knotless suture anchor but with a specific lark's head knot technique to pass the sutures through the tendon that improves bone-tendon contact and tendon healing while preventing a dog-ear deformity.
