(A) Supraspinatus identified under acromion. (B) Modified Mason-Allen suture placed within intact supraspinatus. (C) Supraspinatus tendon sharply dissected from footprint. (D) A 25-gauge needle through the proximal humerus near insertion of supraspinatus. (E) Suture passed through bone tunnel, reducing and maintaining tendon to its original insertion. (F) The 3-mL syringe was placed into a custom metal block, allowing the supraspinatus tendon to hang vertically at a 90° angle to the long axis of the humerus.
