Background: This in vitro study evaluated the biomechanical benefit of adding spanning sutures to single-row rotator cuff repair.
Methods: Mechanical testing was performed to evaluate 9 pairs of cadaveric shoulders with complete rotator cuff repairs, with a single-row technique used on one side and the suture spanning technique on the other. The spanning technique included sutures from 2 lateral anchors securing tendon near the musculotendinous junction, spanning the same anchor placement from single-row repair.
