TOPIC: RANDOM MIX
During an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, the surgeon identifies a massive, U-shaped tear involving the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons. The tendons cannot be lateralized to the greater tuberosity without extreme tension. Which repair technique is most appropriate to restore the anatomical footprint while minimizing tension at the final repair site?
A
Margin convergence followed by repair to the bone
B
Single-row repair using simple sutures placed under maximum tension
C
Debridement without repair due to the irreparable nature of U-shaped tears
D
Immediate latissimus dorsi tendon transfer
