Currently, the treatment of PASTA (partial articular-sided supraspinatus tendon avulsion) lesions includes arthroscopic transtendon and completion repair, but the shortcomings of both surgical techniques are obvious. We present a modified transtendon technique combining the transtendon with the mini-completion repair that is able to minimize the trauma from anchor implantation and add more intra-articular working access using a “mini-incision” on the supraspinatus tendon.
