Abstract
Advancements in rotator cuff tear repair have led to innovative techniques for complex cases. In this article, we introduce the "shoe shop" lacing technique, a knotless, side-to-side, and tendon-to-bone suture method augmented with the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) for anterior margin-deficient massive rotator cuff tears. This approach offers simplicity, durability, and potential advantages in biomechanics. The LHBT integration and knotless sutures make it a promising solution for challenging tear patterns. This technique provides an attractive option for arthroscopic repair, improving outcomes in cases where anterior cable reinforcement is essential.
