The smoothness of both the humeral head cartilage and the articular side of the rotator cuff offers a cleaner arthroscopic approach, while the absence of a subacromial bursa also reduces bleeding, turbidity, and the need for iterative soft tissue debridement. It also facilitates the recognition and repair of certain tear patterns. The intra ...[more]
