A 55-year-old woman presented to our service with chronic pain in her right shoulder with no history of trauma. Shoulder x-ray and CT scan revealed an enchondroma of the proximal humerus with no associated fracture. The MRI also showed a complete rupture of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons. An arthroscopic transosseous rotator cuff repair without anchors was performed. At 12 months of follow-up, the patient had recovered functionality and the enchondromatous lesion remained stable. Anchorless transosseous arthroscopic repair of a rotator cuff tear may represent a good surgical option for patients whose bone quality makes anchor placement inappropriate, such as in the presence of a benign bone tumor such as enchondroma.
