This study aims to compare the biomechanical properties of the “Double Lasso-Loop” suture anchor (DLSA) technique with the commonly performed interference screw (IS) technique in an ex vivo ovine model. Fourteen fresh sheep shoulder specimens were used in this study. Dissection was performed leaving only the

Introduction. Tendon ruptures are a common injury and often require surgical intervention to heal. A refixation is commonly performed with high-strength suture material. However, slipping of the thread is unavoidable even at 7 knots potentially leading to reduced compression of the sutured tendon at its footprint. This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical properties and effectiveness of a novel dynamic high-strength suture, featuring self-tightening properties. Method. Distal

Background:. Massive rotator cuff tear can cause functional disability due to instability and degenerative changes of the shoulder joint. In patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tear, tendon transfer is often used as the salvage procedure. Latissimus dorsi and pectoris major transfer are technically demanding procedures and may incur complications. The
