We hypothesised that performing arthroscopic rotator cuffrepair with tape-attached anchors would result in better clinical outcomes andreduce the retear rate compared with conventional suture anchors. Methods: Weincluded 83 patients treated by arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with a minimum1-year follow-...
Functional outcomes of arthroscopic transosseous rotator cuff repair using 2mm tape suture in a 137 patient cohort Background:Although being the historical gold standard for rotator cuff repair, open transosseous (TO) repair was largely replaced by anchor-based methods ...

Recognizing the tear pattern is crucial because medial to the lateral mobilization of U shaped tears tend to create extreme tensile forces at the middle of the repaired cuff margin, causing tensile overload and subsequent failure. The “margin convergence“ refers to the technique of side to side...
The available literature discusses various methods of conservatively treating rotator cuff tears, while there are no studies delineating the effect of KT on the size of the subacromial space, the subacromial impingement syndrome and tendinopathy, or the thickness of the tendons of the rotator cuff mus...
Methods A systematic literature search via PubMed, Embase, and Scopus was conducted by 2 independent reviewers. Studies reporting clinical outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using the double-row knotted and knotless surgical techniques were identified. Data were analyzed with Review Manager 5.3...
Magnesium sulphate is the main ingredient of Epsom salt bath that is guaranteed to minimise rotator cuff pain. Enhancing blood circulation and keeping the shoulder muscles relaxed, Epsom salt bath is noticeably helpful. In order to get relief effectively, you should follow certain methods,...
Methods Nine different types of high-strength sutures and tapes for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were studied: 6 were tapes (FiberTape, Hi-Fi Tape, Permatape, SutureTape, UltraTape, and XBraid TT), and 3 were sutures (Dynacord, FiberWire, and Ultrabraid). First, mechanical tensile testing...
Purpose/Hypothesis: To investigate the immediate effects of kinesiotaping on the acromiohumeral distance (AHD) in individuals with rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCTe). Over the past few years, kinesiotaping has been widely used in rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders. Its effects on the AHD in ...
Methods A specific knotless transosseous equivalent cuff repair was simulated using 2 tape or suture wire loaded medial anchors and 2 lateral anchors, with controlled lateral suture limb tension. The repair was performed in a previously validated sawbones mechanical model. Testing analyzed force, ...
