2. Fig 1
(A) An articular-sided partial cuff tear of the supraspinatus tendon in the right shoulder of a 44-year-old male patient in the beach-chair position is monitored from the glenohumeral joint through the posterior portal view. Arrows show the articular side partial cuff tear. (B) An 18-gauge spinal needle is inserted through the articular tear to reach the joint through the subacromial interval for placement of Prolene suture for marking.

3. Fig 2
(A) Posterior portal view along with subacromial interval view after debridement. Arrow shows the Prolene suture that is inserted through the articular tear to reach the subacromial interval. (B) View through lateral portal after placement of 4.5-mm anchor aligning it to marking suture. (C) First penetration through BirdBeak from anterior to posterior. The exit point of the BirdBeak is monitored within the circle anteromedially. (D) Movement of first strand using arthroscopic carrier device.
