Abstract
Advancements in rotator cuff tear repair have led to innovative techniques for complex cases. In this article, we introduce the “shoe shop” lacing technique, a knotless, side-to-side, and tendon-to-bone suture method augmented with the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) for anterior margin–deficient massive rotator cuff tears. This approach offers simplicity, durability, and potential advantages in biomechanics. The LHBT integration and knotless sutures make it a promising solution for challenging tear patterns. This technique provides an attractive option for arthroscopic repair, improving outcomes in cases where anterior cable reinforcement is essential.
