Mechanical properties of all-suture anchors for rotator cuff repair
OBJECTIVES All-suture anchors are increasingly used in rotator cuff repair procedures. Potential benefits include decreased bone damage. However, there is limited published evidence for the relative strength of fixation for all-suture anchors compared with traditional anchors. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of four commercially available all-suture anchors, the 'Y-Knot' (ConMed), Q-FIX (Smith ...
متن کاملBiomechanical comparison of traditional anchors to all-suture anchors in a double-row rotator cuff repair cadaver model.
BACKGROUND To further reduce the invasiveness of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery the all-suture anchor has been developed. The all-suture anchor requires less bone removal and reduces the potential of loose body complications. The all-suture anchor must also have adequate biomechanical strength for the repair to heal. The hypothesis is there is no significant difference in the biomecha...
متن کاملPullout strength of suture anchors used in rotator cuff repair.
BACKGROUND Surgical treatment of rotator cuff tears may be complicated by osteoporosis of the proximal part of the humerus. The purpose of this study was to determine whether pullout strength of suture anchors is affected by the location of the anchor placement and by bone mineral density. We hypothesized that higher bone mineral density is associated with higher pullout strength of suture anch...
متن کاملKnotless single-row rotator cuff repair: a comparative biomechanical study of 2 knotless suture anchors.
The purpose of this study was to compare the gap formation during cyclic loading, maximum repair strength, and failure mode of single-row full-thickness supraspinatus repairs performed using 2 knotless suture anchors with differing internal suture-retention mechanisms in a human cadaver model. Nine matched pairs of cadaver shoulders were used. Full-thickness tears were induced by detaching the ...
متن کاملA biomechanical evaluation of suture anchors in repair of the rotator cuff.
Repair of the rotator cuff requires secure reattachment, but large chronic defects cause osteoporosis of the greater tuberosity which may then have insufficient strength to allow proper fixation of the tendon. Recently, suture anchors have been introduced, but have not been fully evaluated. We have investigated the strength of suture-to-anchor attachment, and the use of suture anchors in repair...
