The subscapularis tendon is more challenging and riskier to repair than the posterior upper rotator cuff. The knotless anchor suture in subscapularis repair simplified the repair process and had an excellent postoperative effect. We describe a new knotless anchor stitching method, the H-Loop technique. The simplicity and efficiency of the technique make it particularly suitable for small subscapular tendon tears.
