    Summary

    Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair techniques vary. Double-row and transosseous-equivalent methods offer biomechanical advantages over single-row repairs, but require further high-level clinical validation for optimal tendon healing.

    • Sports Medicine

    Background:

    • Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a common surgical procedure worldwide.
    • Various repair techniques aim to restore rotator cuff anatomy and function.
    • Biomechanical analysis is crucial for understanding tendon-to-bone healing and optimizing repair strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and compare biomechanical factors influencing rotator cuff tendon healing across different arthroscopic repair techniques.
    • To evaluate the biomechanical properties of single-row, double-row, and transosseous-equivalent rotator cuff repairs.
    • To identify the need for higher-level evidence, such as randomized controlled trials, for newer repair techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of biomechanical studies analyzing rotator cuff repair configurations.

    Published on: January 23, 2026

  • Comparison of tendon footprint restoration, tension distribution, and contact area for different repair types.
  • Analysis of clinical study outcomes for single- and double-row repairs.

    • Main Results:

    • Single-row repairs may not fully restore the rotator cuff footprint and can cause tension.
    • Transosseous simple suture repairs offer potential for enhanced tendon-to-bone healing.
    • Double-row suture anchor repair improves contact area and initial fixation strength.
    • Transosseous-equivalent techniques provide optimized pressurized contact and load distribution.
    • Clinical results for single- and double-row repairs are comparable.

    Conclusions:

    • Biomechanical evidence suggests advantages for double-row and transosseous-equivalent rotator cuff repair techniques.
    • Further high-quality randomized controlled trials are necessary to validate the clinical efficacy of transosseous and transosseous-equivalent methods.
    • Future research should focus on validated outcomes and robust methodologies to guide optimal rotator cuff repair strategies.
