SUTURE MANAGEMENT IN ARTHROSCOPIC ROTATOR CUFF REPAIR
Hatem SAID, Maher EL-ASSAL
Assiut University Hospital, Assiut (EGYPT)
Arthroscopic surgery has become the standard management for rotator cuff tears.
Technical difficulties face the surgeon especially with multiple threads and
arthroscopic portals. Furthermore the introduction of the double row repair and the
transosseous equivalent techniques has required more surgical skill than before.
From 2006-2009, sixty two rotator cuff tears were performed in our department, we
present our results of arthroscopic treatment of RC tears and elaborate on the
techniques of suture management and new generation of knotless anchors.
