Concomitate supraspinatus and subscapularis tear is not rare, and the suture bridge technique is one of the most effective methods for rotator cuff repair. However, some limitations exist in the use of such a technique for simultaneous supraspinatus and subscapularis repair. We introduce the technique of a merged lateral row for suture bridge rotator cuff repair, in which the lateral suture of the supraspinatus and subscapularis is placed in the greater tuberosity. We believe that this technique can reduce both the duration and cost of surgery and decrease soft-tissue damage. It can also allow the "comma tissue," to be simultaneously repaired.

Osteoporosis and osteopenia are frequently found in patients undergoing shoulder surgery, especially rotator cuff repair, and it is anticipated that this link will become more common as more elderly people have operations on their shoulders. For orthopedic surgical candidates who are at high risk, preoperative screening may identify those who might benefit from early intervention and prevent any associated adverse events. The major complications include repair failure and revision surgery.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare postoperative healthcare utilization, prescriptions, and shoulder surgery between patients with an acute depressive episode (ADE) and those without an acute depressive episode (NADE) within 3 months before arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Methods: Diagnostic and procedural codes were used to identify patients in the TriNetX Research Network at least 18 years of age and underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair between January 2010 and November 2021. Patients with a previous rotator cuff repair or diagnosis of recurrent major depressive disorder were excluded.

Treatment of Massive rotator cuff tears (MRCT) is difficult, with high rates of retears. Using biological augmentation in the form of the highly vascular subacromial bursa, was used to improve tendon healing. This work aimed to evaluate the results of arthroscopic guided mini-open transosseous repair with bursal augmentation in the treatment of MRCTs in a five-step approach.

Background: Understanding factors associated with improvements in subjective shoulder function after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) helps clinicians identify targets for postoperative rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors associated with subjective shoulder function after ARCR.

Methods: Patients who underwent ARCR for rotator cuff tear with at least 12 months of follow-up were included.
