The Photos during surgery. (a) Blunt dissection was performed through the deltoid muscle to visualize the infraspinatus tendon. (b) We created a 2 cm iatrogenic full-thickness rotator cuff tear in the infraspinatus tendon. (c, d, e) After removing the articular cartilage and decorticating, a suture anchor was inserted at the junction area of the humeral head’s tuberosity. (f) The sutures passed through the anchor’s eyelet were attached to the torn tendon. (g) The detached cuff was repaired using the Mason–Allen method. (h) The incision was closed subcutaneously with 2 − 0 Vicryl and superficially with 3 − 0 Nylon
