Modified Mason-Allen technique is described for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. It combines vertical simple sutures for strength with a horizontal mattress suture to act as a "rip-stop stitch". This technique provides high fixation strength, minimal gap formation, and maintains mechanical stability until tendon healing. A case report demonstrates the technique used to repair a partial supraspinatus tendon tear, with the patient showing functional improvement post-operatively. The Modified Mason-Allen technique offers biomechanical and clinical outcomes comparable to double-row repair, but with lower cost and use for partial-full thickness tears.
