Summary

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair offers a more secure tendon-to-bone fixation compared to open methods. This minimally invasive technique with anchor fixation is expected to become more widely adopted.

Background:

  • Rotator cuff repair is increasingly common.
  • Tendon-to-bone fixation presents significant challenges.
  • Both open and arthroscopic techniques are used for rotator cuff repair.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the latest literature on rotator cuff repair techniques.
  • To compare the clinical and biomechanical features of open versus arthroscopic repair.
  • To evaluate the potential for increased acceptance of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies on rotator cuff repair.
  • Analysis of clinical outcomes and biomechanical data for open and arthroscopic methods.
