- Abstract
The article presents a study on arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using the transosseous-equivalent suture-bridge technique. The result of the study shows that postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated intact surgical repair sites in 22 of 25 patients (88%). The transosseous-equivalent suture-bridge technique demonstrates a high healing rate on imaging studies at 1 year. The study indicates excellent cuff healing, as judged by the intact repair sites, compared with most standard arthroscopic rotator cuff repair series. In conclusion, the arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is constantly improving.
