Abstract
SUMMARY: Advances in arthroscopic technology allow rotator cuff repair through a minimally invasive approach. However, fixation of the rotator cuff tendon to suture anchors can be tedious and time consuming. The supraclavicular fossa portal allows improved access to the tear for passing suture. The authors describe the relevant anatomy, positioning, and surgical technique for use of the supraclavicular fossa portal to simplify arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.Mesh:
