Transtendinous repair is a surgical technique used to restore tendon integrity while preserving intact tendon and minimizing iatrogenic tendon damage.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Indications:<\/jats:title>\n This technique is indicated in patients with symptomatic, partial-thickness rotator cuff tears who have failed conservative management.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Technique Description:<\/jats:title>\n The PASTA transtendinous technique repair is performed in the beach-chair position. The articular-sided tear is visualized, debrided, and 2 suture anchors are placed percutaneously through the tendon into the rotator cuff footprint. The sutures are passed in a boxed mattress configuration, and knot-tying is performed arthroscopically on the bursal side of the cuff, securing the tendon back to its footprint and preserving intact tendon fibers.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n This construct demonstrates stable fixation of the tendon to its native footprint, with preservation of tendon integrity. Postoperatively, patients undergo a structured rehabilitation protocol. Return to full activity\/sport is expected at approximately 4 to 6 months.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Discussion\/Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Transtendinous repair of PASTA lesions provides a reliable method for restoring native tendon integrity, while preserving intact tendon fibers. This technique minimizes tendon trauma compared with traditional \u201ctake-down\u201d rotator cuff repair techniques, maintains native anatomy, and facilitates anatomic healing with good functional recovery.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Patient Consent Disclosure Statement:<\/jats:title>\n The author(s) attests that consent has been obtained from any patient(s) appearing in this publication.
