Abstract
Partial thickness of rotator cuff tears is considered as a common cause of shoulder disability. Various techniques for arthroscopic repair of partial thickness tear of rotator cuff have been reported in the literature. These techniques have addressed the articular side partial thickness cuff tear. We present an arthroscopic repair of partial thickness tear of rotator cuff involving both articular and bursal surfaces without converting into a full thickness tear. Each side of the tear was repaired with suture anchors separately.Entities:
