Abstract
Iterative evolutions in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair aim to improve its biomechanical and biological properties. This technical note describes an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair technique that combines the advantages of a modified Mason-Allen suture technique with the advantages of an arthroscopic transosseous-equivalent construct. Two alternatives for creating this construct are described. The Mason-Allen stitch is easy to perform, is cost-effective, and increases tissue security without tendon strangulation. The arthroscopic transosseous-equivalent construct increases footprint contact pressure and coverage, aiding healing of the repaired rotator cuff.
