The transosseous equivalent suture bridge technique has been widely used for rotator cuff repair, especially for large tears. During the fixation of the second lateral anchor, the first group of sutures may become loose due to anchor malposition or manual overtensioning of the second group of sutures. To restore the suture's tension, a spare suture from the second lateral anchor may be passed beneath the loose suture to tighten it with a simple knot. This technique has been shown to be easy and fast to perform and does not require extra material.

Unburied polytetrafluoroethylene scleral suture erosions and failure of pericardial graft revision.
Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep
December 2024
The George Washington University, 2150 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C, 20037, United States.
Purpose: The purpose of this case series is to report three cases of exposed, unburied polytetrafluoroethylene (Gore-tex) sutures used for scleral fixated intraocular lenses and their management, including failure of pericardial patch and success of irradiated corneal patch. This series aims to inform management options for this uncommon adverse event.
Observations: A retrospective case series was conducted of three patients who presented at a tertiary care center with exposure of unburied Gore-tex sutures used for fixation of intraocular lens.

Primary Repair of Complete Quadriceps Tendon Rupture with Extensor Mechanism Deficit.
JBJS Essent Surg Tech
September 2024
Department of Orthopaedics, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Article Synopsis
- Partial quadriceps tendon ruptures can often be treated without surgery if the knee's extension mechanism is still functional, but complete ruptures usually require surgical repair for better recovery outcomes.
- The surgical procedure involves making a midline incision over the knee to access and repair the quadriceps tendon, possibly using techniques like transosseous tunnels or suture anchors to secure the tendon properly.
- The surgery aims to restore the function and mobility of the leg’s extensor mechanism by utilizing specific suturing patterns and techniques to secure the tendon back to the patella.
Clinical Efficacy of Bionic Blepharoplasty Using the Flexible Suspension and Semiflexible Suspension Double-Insurance Methods.

Department of Plastic Surgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University.
Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of the double insurance method of flexible suspension and semiflexible suspension in bionic blepharoplasty.
Methods: Between January 2020 and January 2022, a total of 115 patients (230 eyes) underwent double eyelid plastic surgery with flexible suspension and semiflexible suspension. Herein, we present a new type of double eyelid surgery that preserves the orbicular muscle of the anterior tarsus without removing the tissue.
