title: Double arthroscopic transtendon repair of partial-thickness articular surface tears of the rotator cuff: a surgical technique.
abstract: This study describes a technique of simultaneous arthroscopy and bursoscopy for transtendon repair of a partial-thickness articular surface rotator cuff tear. All procedures are under simultaneous visualisation from both the glenohumeral joint and the subacromial space to reduce the risk of intraoperative complications.
