Fig 1 (A) Augmentation graft technique, in which a graft connecting the medial cuff to the lateral greater tuberosity overlaps the single-row repair. (B) Augmentation suture technique, in which the suture is used instead of the graft.

Fig 2 (A) The augmentation sutures are passed through the medial cuff. (B) The cuff end is fixed to the footprint by the single-row repair. (C) The augmentation sutures are fixed at the lateral greater tuberosity with a push-in–type anchor.
