This article reviews an arthroscopic technique used to repair small- and medium-sized rotator cuff tears using a retrievable screw-in suture anchor and permanent braided sutures. The cuff is shaved, the bone is prepared arthroscopically, and a subacromial decompression is performed. After implanting the anchors, the sutures are passed through the cuff using Shuttle Relay suture passers and a suture punch. To complete the repair, the sutures are tied using a knot-pusher.

Knee arthroscopy has benefited greatly over the past 2 decades from new developments in technology and instrumentation. These advances have transformed arthroscopy from a purely diagnostic procedure to one through which extensive and intricate surgery can be performed. In addition, the new technology and instruments now place the orthopedic surgeon at the threshold of successful arthroscopic surgery in the office. Attention to the basics ancillary to the actual surgery, however, are still of prime importance in ensuring complication-free arthroscopic procedures.
