Finial construct of the single-row suture technique for right shoulder rotator cuff repair with posteriorly transposed LHBT as SCR. (A) A double-loaded suture anchor was placed on the lateral side of the transposed LHBT. The sutures were passed through the stump of the posteriorly transposed LHBT and then passed through the torn rotator cuff. Two or more double-loaded suture anchors separated by the transposed LHBT were used to repair the rotator cuff by single-row technique. (B,C) The stump of the posteriorly transposed LHBT was secured and sandwiched by repaired rotator cuff and footprint. #, posteriorly transposed LHBT; CP, coracoid process; F, footprint of rotator cuff; HH, humeral head; LHBT, long head of the biceps tendon; RC, rotator cuff; Sub, subscapularis.
