Arthroscopic repair of partial articular supraspinatus tendon avulsion lesions by conversion to full-thickness tears through a small incision.

CONCLUSION: This modified tear completion repair, by conversion to full-thickness tears through a small incision, has less damage to the supraspinatus tendon on the side of the bursa compared to traditional tear completion repair in the treatment of PASTA lesions. This surgical method is a simple and effective treatment that can effectively alleviate pain and improve shoulder joint function. PMID: 32768290 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
