title = "Merged Lateral Row Modification of the Suture Bridge Technique for Simultaneous Supraspinatus and Subscapularis Repair",
abstract = "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.",
