Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators evaluated the correlation between cutting-through at the greater tuberosity (GT) just medial to the lateral knotless anchor in arthroscopic suture-bridge rotator cuff repair and the bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine, hip and GT of the proximal humerus and to evaluate factors and clinical outcomes related to cutting-through at the GT.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Seventy-eight patients who underwent arthroscopic suture-bridge rotator cuff repair and who had undergone dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans before surgery were included. Patients were divided into two groups: patients who had cutting-through (46, group I) and patients who did not (32, group II). Clinical and radiological data including demographics, BMDs, fatty infiltration of rotator cuff muscles, tear size, tear involvement, VAS pain score, and ASES score were analyzed.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patients with cutting-through

Patients who had cutting-through during the lateral knotless anchor fixation.

Arthroscopic suture-bridge rotator cuff repair

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Arthroscopic suture-bridge repair is a widely used and universal surgical method for symptomatic rotator cuff tear patients. It is arthroscopic surgery to reattach ruptured rotator cuff tendons to the original insertion (greater tuberosity) using medial and lateral row anchors.

Patients without cutting-through

Patients who didn't have cutting-through during the lateral knotless anchor fixation.
