Hello, Thanks for your query. Full-thickness complete tears of supraspinatus and subscapularis tendons are treated by surgical repair. I suggest you to go for arthroscopic repair of these tears.Full-thickness repair of biceps tendon can be also done at the same time through the arthroscope. Do not worry, these can be completely healed after repair. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
