Results of arthroscopic treatment for 10 patients (10 shoulder joints) with rotator cuff rupture using transosseous suture are presented. Mean age of patients made up 49 (38-63) years. In 2 cases the size of defect was under 1 cm, in 6 cases - 1-3 cm, in 2 cases - 3-5 cm. Mean score by UCLA scale was 13 (8-14) preoperatively and 26 (24-28) in 3 months after intervention. Advantages of the described technique include rapidity of performance, low price and provision of anatomic restoration of injured structures.
