Background: Superior labral anterior and posterior (SLAP) tears are a common finding in overhead athletes. The original classification system produced by Snyder in 1990 contained 4 types of SLAP tears and was later expanded to 10 types. The classification has been challenging because of inconsistencies between surgeons making diagnoses and treatments based on the diagnosis.

Purpose: To biomechanically evaluate the use of the suture augmentation construct at time 0 of ACL reconstruction.

Methods: Eighty porcine knees underwent ACL reconstruction using 2 techniques for graft fixation: a single suspensory construct (SSC), performed with a femoral button and tibial interference screw; and a double suspensory construct (DSC), with a femoral and tibial button. Each fixation technique was performed on 40 porcine knees divided into 4 subgroups.

Purpose: To compare the biomechanical properties of a knotless suture anchor with suture tape quadriceps tendon repair technique with transosseous and suture anchor repair techniques.

Methods: Twenty matched pairs of cadaveric knees underwent a quadriceps tendon avulsion followed by repair via the use of transosseous tunnels with #2 high-strength sutures, 5.5-mm biocomposite fully threaded suture anchors with #2 high-strength sutures, or 4.
