“…2 (Durabraid ® ) braided polyester, which has been reported to be the most suitable choice in rotator cuff repairs. 14,15 According to our results, there was no statistically significant difference between right and left sides in relation to sample size, displacement and tendon resistance. Analyzing the different kinds of stitch separately in terms of their resistance, we verified that the simple stitch is inferior to the other two.…”

“…Es gibt unterschiedliche Fixationssysteme für die arthroskopische Operationstechnik. Bis heute ist nicht eindeutig geklärt, ob die Dübel-oder Fadenankertechnik eine der transossären Naht vergleichbare Wiederherstellung der Anatomie und Reißfestig-keit gewährleisten kann [4,8,9]. Wir entwickelten daher eine arthroskopische transossäre Nahttechnik für Rupturen der Rotatorenmanschette, um die Vorteile der offenen transossären Technik mit denjenigen des arthroskopischen Vorgehens zu vereinen.…”

“…There are various fixation systems for the arthroscopic surgical technique. Until now, it has not been clear whether a dowel or a suture-anchoring technique can provide reconstruction of the anatomy and breaking strength comparable to a transosseous suture [4,8,9]. We therefore developed an arthroscopic transosseous suture technique for ruptures of the rotator cuff, in order to combine the advantages of the open transosseous technique with those of the arthroscopic procedure.…”

In the 75 patients treated using a single suture, there was an improvement compared to the related Constant Score from 55.8% before the operation to 80.4% at the follow-up examination, after an average of 26.8 months. The average age in this group was 58.2 years (range 35-75 years). In the 21 patients treated with a mattress suture, there was an improvement compared to the related Constant score from 59% before the operation to 83% at 14.3 months after the operation. The average age in this group was 58 years (range 35-75 years).

“…Initial fixation strength is an essential consideration in optimizing rotator cuff repair and therefore, numerous biomechanical studies have focused on elucidating the strongest devices, knots, and repair configurations for rotator cuff repair. [6][7][8] To restore the footprint area, numerous arthroscopic techniques have been studied. Recently, the transosseous-equivalent (TOE) technique has become popular with sutures from the medial row of anchors coming across the rotator cuff and being secured laterally in the footprint.…”

The arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is now considered a mainstream technique with highly satisfactory clinical results. However, concerns remain regarding healing failures for large and massive tears and high revision rate. In recent decades, various repair strategies and construct configurations have been developed for rotator cuff repair with the understanding that many factors contribute to the structural integrity of the repaired construct. The focus of biomechanical test in arthroscopic repair has been on increasing fixation strength and restoration of the footprint contact characteristics to provide early rehabilitation and improve healing. These include repaired rotator cuff tendon-footprint motion, increased tendon-footprint contact area and pressure, and tissue quality of tendon and bone. Recent studies have shown that a transosseous tunnel technique provides improved contact area and pressure between rotator cuff tendon and insertion footprint, and the technique of using double rows of suture anchors to recreate the native footprint attachment has been recently described. The transosseous equivalent suture bridge technique has the highest contact pressure and fixation force. In this review, the biomechanical tests about repair techniques of rotator cuff tear will be reviewed and discussed.
