A great deal of research has been devoted to determining optimal techniques for rotator cuff repair, a common orthopedic procedure. Current repair techniques involve the use of suture anchors or transosseous tunnels, with the goal of reattaching the torn tendon to the anatomic insertion of the rotator cuff. There are a multitude of different repair constructs and anchor designs available. For example, some surgeons utilize a single row of suture anchors for repair, whereas others will use two rows of anchors in a "double row" construct. A variety of anchors are also available; some are loaded with suture and require knot tying, and others can be used in a "knotless" technique. Regardless, time zero stability of the rotator cuff repair is essential, but ideal anchor or construct has yet to be determined.
