Background: The use of all-suture anchors for rotator cuff repair is increasing. Potential benefits include decreased bone loss and decreased damage to the chondral surface. Minimal evidence exists comparing outcomes among medial-row anchor fixation methods in double-row suture bridge rotator cuff repair.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Few studies have examined the short-term clinical outcomes of rotator cuff repair (RCR) with all-suture anchors for medial row anchor fixation.
Purpose: To evaluate clinical outcomes of double-row suture bridge RCR using a novel all-suture medial row anchor.
Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the clinical outcomes of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) surgery in nonthrowing athletes, aiming to determine whether their recovery rates and complications are similar to those of throwing athletes, with two years of follow-up data collected.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 40 nonthrowing athletes who had UCL surgery between 2011 and 2019, focusing on their age, sex, type of surgery, and sports participation, finding that 93% of participants were successfully contacted for outcome measures.
- - Results showed that a majority (76%) of the surgeries performed were repairs, with high return-to-play rates and various types of injuries noted among the participants, indicating promising outcomes for nonthrowing athletes undergoing U
