Abstract
Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears are common diseases causing pain and disability. Among the different surgical methods, the transtendon repair technique is recommended due to its biomechanically superiority. However, this technique has a high learning curve and is time-consuming. In this Technical Note, we introduce a safer and more effective modified transtendon repair technique. Our switching-scope technique sets a switching stick into the glenohumeral joint through the posterior portal and is used as a guide for switching the arthroscope between the subacromial and articular spaces. This technique can reduce surgical time and overcome the disadvantage of vision limitation in articular-sided transtendon repair.
