Background Rotator cuff tendon rupture after suture bridge repair occasionally occurs at the
medial row, with remnant tendon tissue remaining at the footprint. While concentrated …

PURPOSE: Biomechanical comparison of different suture-bridge configurations of the
medial row with respect to initial construct stability (time 0, porcine model). METHODS: In 40 …

Background A comparison of self-reinforcement and footprint compression between
standard-and wide-diameter suture material in double-row SutureBridge repair techniques …

Background The suture bridge (SB) technique and conventional double-row (DR) are both
effective in repair of full-thickness rotator cuff tears. However, increasing numbers of …

Purpose. To compare the biomechanical properties of 3 suture‐bridge techniques for rotator
cuff repair. Methods. Twelve pair‐matched fresh‐frozen shoulder specimens were …

Background In double-row SutureBridge (Arthrex, Naples, FL, USA) rotator cuff repairs,
increasing tendon load may generate progressively greater compression forces at the repair …

Background The suture bridge (SB) transosseous-equivalent rotator cuff repair reduces re-
tear rates compared with single-row or other double-row constructs. However, failure rates …

Background This in vitro study evaluated the biomechanical benefit of adding spanning
sutures to single-row rotator cuff repair. Methods Mechanical testing was performed to …

Aims Many biomechanical studies have shown that the weakest biomechanical point of a
rotator cuff repair is the suture-tendon interface at the medial row. We developed a novel …

Background: The merits of a double-row rotator cuff repair (RCR) construct are well-
established for restoration of the footprint and lateral-row security. The theoretical benefit of …
