Abstract:
Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common tendon injuries. Despite advancements in rotator cuff repair techniques, outcomes remain variable. We describe repair of small rotator cuff tears with a sutureless PEEK (polyether ether ketone) implant, which eliminates the need for suture management, avoids knot tying, provides multiple fixation points, and distributes compression over a broad surface area that may enhance blood flow and healing.
