Injury and degeneration of tendon, the soft tissue that mechanically links muscle and bone,
can cause substantial pain and loss of function. This review discusses the composition and …

Rotator cuff disease encompasses a broad spectrum of injury and pathology with an
increasing incidence with age. Pain with overhead activity, localizing to the deltoid region …

Background The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis
of all available level I randomized controlled trials comparing single-row with double-row …

Background Double-row arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs were developed to improve initial
biomechanical strength of repairs to improve healing rates. Despite biomechanical …

Background The purpose of rotator cuff repair is to diminish pain and restore function, and
this most predictably occurs when the tendon is demonstrated to heal. Recent improvements …

Background: Despite advances in arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears, recurrent tears
after repair of large and massive tears remain a significant clinical problem. The primary …

Background: The reported rate of failure after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair has varied
widely. The influence of the repair technique on the failure rates and functional outcomes …

Background Restoring the anatomical footprint may improve the healing and mechanical
strength of repaired tendons. A double row of suture anchors increases the tendon-bone …

Background A subset of patients is often seen with an unusual pattern of tendon failure after
arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using a suture bridge technique. Purpose To evaluate retear …
