Abstract:Background: The self-cinching stitch has been verified to have high mechanical strength. The mechanical strength of combining transosseous rotator cuff repair (RCR) and the self-cinching stitch in the lateral row is unknown. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical properties of transosseous RCR combined with the cinch stitch in the lateral row. We hypothesized that this construct would have better mechanical strength than would transosseous repair using a vertical cinch … Show more
