Double-Row Repair Technique for Bursal-Sided Partial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears

Double-Row Repair Technique for Bursal-Sided Partial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears

Rotator cuff pathology is a common cause of shoulder pain in the athletic and general population. Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCT) are commonly encountered and can be bursal-sided, articular-sided, or intratendinous. Various techniques exist for the repair of bursal-sided PTRCTs. The 2 m...
