回旋腱板修復のための二重結びループ技術を用いた改良型メイソン・アレン縫合ブリッジ

Managing rotator cuff (RTC) tears poses unique challenges for sports medicine surgeons. Although various suture techniques have been explored, many approaches fail due to several limitations. We describe a method of suture bridge technique that incorporates a double-locking loop for medial row fixation, utilizing a modified Mason-Allen (mMA) stitch in place of the conventional horizontal mattress configuration. This modification enhances tissue grip and improves the initial stability of tendon-to-bone fixation. This technique is particularly suited for patients with bursal-side partial-thickness tears or degenerative small- to medium-sized RTC injuries.
