“…This was accomplished by using custom software to visually identify the two instances in the trial where the contact point on the humerus (i.e., the black sphere located on the humerus in Figure 2) was located at the medial border and the lateral border of the supraspinatus tendon's insertion site. This region has been previously referred to as the supraspinatus tendon's "footprint" (Curtis et al, 2006) and occupies the interval between the medial border of the humeral head's articular cartilage and the greater tuberosity's lateral most prominence.…”

Background: The shoulder's subacromial space is of significant clinical interest due to its association with rotator cuff disease. Previous studies have estimated the subacromial space width to be 2-17 mm, but no study has measured in-vivo subacromial space width during shoulder motion. The purpose of this study was to measure the in-vivo subacromial space width during shoulder elevation in patients following rotator cuff repair.

“…The anatomic footprint has been described as a "consistent, measurable pattern" of RC tendon insertion onto humerus, 10 and numerous studies have commented on the significance of its restoration during arthroscopic RC repair. [10][11][12][13] Tendon healing occurs at the tendo-osseous junction.…”

Following a failed course of conservative management, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) has become the gold standard treatment for patients presenting with symptomatic rotator cuff (RC) tears. Traditionally, the single-row repair technique was used. Although most patients enjoy good to excellent clinical outcomes, structural healing to bone remains problematic. As a result, orthopaedic surgeons have sought to improve outcomes with various technological and technical advancements. One such possible advancement is the double-row technique. We present a method for repairing an RC tear using double-row suture anchors in a transosseous equivalent suture bridge technique. The doublerow technique is believed to more effectively re-create the anatomic footprint of the tendon, as well as increase tendon to bone surface area, and apposition for healing. However, it requires longer operating times and is costlier. This report highlights this technique for ARCR in an adult by using a double-row transosseous equivalent suture bridge.

“…These injuries may occur in one of the tendons in isolation, and the commonest of these is injuries of the supraspinatus tendon (3) , which is inserted into the greater tubercle, is around 16 mm in length and is microscopically subdivided into five distinct layers (4,5) . These injuries can be classified as partial or comRev Bras Ortop.…”

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes from arthroscopic repairs on small and medium-sized tears of the supraspinatus muscle tendon. Methods: 129 cases of isolated small and medium tears of the supraspinatus muscle tendon were evaluated retrospectively. The average duration of pain was 29 months. The average joint range of motion comprised active elevation of 136º, lateral rotation of 58º and medial rotation at T12 level; and the preoperative functional UCLA score averaged 17 points. In all the cases, complete repair could be achieved. Results: The average score on the UCLA functional scale in the postoperative period was 32 points. The average length of follow-up was 39 months. Seventy-five cases (58%) had excellent results and 42 (32%) had good results. The average final active elevation was 156º
