Abstract:
Double-row suture-bridge technique for rotator cuff repair has been used for rotator cuff tears. In large tears that require 2 or more lateral row anchors, loosening of the suture bridges could occur because of tightening sequence. By retightening suture limbs before deploying the first lateral row anchor, premature loosening could be prevented and enhance the tension of the construct.
