Trans-tendon Suture Bridge Rotator Cuff Repair With Biceps Tendon Augmentation for Retorn High-Grade Partial Articular Supraspinatus Tendon Avulsion (PASTA) Lesions.

ABSTRACT: Revision repair of retorn partial articular supraspinatus tendon avulsion (PASTA) lesion is difficult for poor tendon quality without tear completion and repair. Trans-tendon suture bridge repair with biceps tendon augmentation can preserve the intact bursal side cuff attachment and has shown satisfactory clinical outcomes. Moreover, trans-tendon suture bridge rotator cuff repair technique, along with biceps tendon augmentation, reinforces high-grade PASTA lesions by moving the tenotomized biceps tendon into the torn articular side cuff defect with added advantage of blood supply through the tenotomized biceps tendon graft. Retear after trans-tendon repair of high-grade PASTA lesions was rare, and its poor tendon quality cause the revision repair to be too difficult. Without tear completio
