"Partial-thickness tears can be initially treated conservatively for 2-3 months. Surgery is indicated for patients who have failed conservative treatment and younger patients with a single acute injury, including debridement and repair of the latter, particularly in larger tears, where more than 75% of the tendon diameter is affected 1. Subacromial decompression might be an option if there are extrinsic risk factors for subacromial impingement 1. Partial-thickness tears with intratendinous extension might need more extensive debridement or more dedicated repair."
