Pullout 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 کاملFrontal Plane Humeral Elevation Effects on the Pullout Strength of Suture Anchors Used in Rotator Cuff Repair
Frontal plane humeral elevation effects on the pullout strength of suture anchors used in rotator cuff repair The rotator cuff offers the stabilizing forces necessary for fine arm movement. The most common injury to the rotator cuff is the partial or full thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon, which attaches the humerus to the scapula on the superior side, due to an acute or chronic injury...
متن کاملComparison of the Fixation Strength of PEEK Knotless Suture Anchors for Rotator Cuff Repair
INTRODUCTION Rotator cuff injuries are common, with approximately 400,000 cuff repairs performed each year in the United States alone. Surgical repair of torn cuff tendons involves reattachment of the torn end of the tendon to the original footprint on the proximal humerus, typically using suture anchors. In recent years, suture anchors have evolved into knotless systems, which are designed to ...
متن کاملBacterial adherence to high--tensile strength sutures.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bacterial adherence to high--tensile strength suture materials using a bioluminescent in vitro model. METHODS Eleven strands each of No. 2 MaxBraid (Arthrotek [Biomet], Warsaw, IN), FiberWire (Arthrex, Naples, FL), Ethibond (Ethicon, Somerville, NJ), Orthocord (DePuy Mitek, Raynham, MA), and silk (Ethicon) sutures were immersed in a broth ...
متن کاملSingle-row suture anchor repair of the rotator cuff is biomechanically equivalent to double-row repair in a bovine model.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine biomechanical differences in cyclic elongation and ultimate strength between double-row rotator cuff repair and single-row repair for partial rotator cuff repairs. METHODS We randomly assigned 18 immature bovine specimens (aged 12 to 16 weeks) to 3 repair groups (6 per group). A 1 x 2-cm defect was created at the infraspinatus tendon insertio...
