Abstract

Rotator cuff injuries are common and can lead to pain and functional limitation of the shoulder, sometimes requiring surgical procedure. We describe a surgical approach combining the modified Mason-Allen and lasso-loop techniques for the repair of rotator cuff injuries. This hybrid approach brings the 2 advantages of each suture: the compression provided by the loop and the large quantity of tendons caught by the Mason-Allen in a single repair row.
