Transosseous-Equivalent Rotator Cuff Repair Technique

Arthroscopy Maxwell C. Park M.D., et al. - This repair maximizes the utility of a single-row repair technique by preserving the suture limbs of the medial single-row and bridging these sutures over the footprint insertion with distal-lateral interference screw suture fixation; the medial row uses a mattress suture configuration. The geometry of the construct compresses the tendon, optimizing tendon-to-tuberosity contact dimensions, while providing strength sufficient to withstand immediate postoperative rehabilitation Read article: http://www.mdlinx.com/OrthoLinx/xml-article.cfm/1718354.
