Abstract
Arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears is an option for a surgeon with advanced arthroscopic skills and a thorough knowledge of open repair technique. Surgical indications and a detailed description of operative technique are presented. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair offers theoretical advantages over open repair, but long-term studies are needed to demonstrate its effectiveness.
