Arthroscopic double-row rotator cuff repair using a knotless, interconnected technique

The surgical techniques used for rotator cuff repair have evolved over the past three decades. Technical innovations have contributed to improved clinical outcomes following repair. Recently, double-row repairs have demonstrated substantial biomechanical advantages when compared to single-row repairs, including decreased gap formation, increased ultimate load-to-failure, and improved footprint coverage. Knotless transosseous equivalent rotator cuff repair has emerged as an alternative to knotted constructs.
