Massive Rotator Cuff Repair: Banana SutureLasso Double-Row Fixation

“Double-Row Rip-Stop” Technique for Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

Rotator cuff repair depends on both the fixation strength of the chosen repair construct and the local healing response of the repaired tissue. Among a growing discussion surrounding the superiority of one surgical technique over another, the surgeon's ability to complete a rotator cuff repair with technical acuity in a timely manner remains paramount. Double-row repairs as well as rip-stop con...

High-tension double-row footprint repair compared with reduced-tension single-row repair for massive rotator cuff tears.

A biomechanical comparison of single and double-row fixation in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

BACKGROUND The optimal method for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is not yet known. The hypothesis of the present study was that a double-row repair would demonstrate superior static and cyclic mechanical behavior when compared with a single-row repair. The specific aims were to measure gap formation at the bone-tendon interface under static creep loading and the ultimate strength and mode of ...

Single-Versus Double-Row Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair in Massive Tears

BACKGROUND It is a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons to treat massive rotator cuff tears. The optimal management of massive rotator cuff tears remains controversial. Therefore, the goal of this study was to compare arthroscopic single- versus double-row rotator cuff repair with a larger sample size. MATERIAL AND METHODS Of the subjects with massive rotator cuff tears, 146 were treated using ...

Single-Row or Double-Row Fixation Technique for Full-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears: A Meta-Analysis

BACKGROUND The single-row and double-row fixation techniques have been widely used for rotator cuff tears. However, whether the double-row technique produces superior clinical or anatomic outcomes is still considered controversial. This study aims to use meta-analysis to compare the clinical and anatomical outcomes between the two techniques. METHODS The Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane library d...
