Brief Summary

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

The rotator cuff is a muscle-tendon complex consisting of the tendons of the supraspinatus, subspinatus, subscapularis, and small round muscles capable of allowing movement of the shoulder joint in the various planes of space and stabilizing the glenohumeral joint.

Rotator cuff tendon injuries are very common. In most cases, these injuries are mostly degenerative based, as they are related to the aging process of the individual. However, it is increasingly common to diagnose such injuries in young individuals as well.

The reported incidence of rotator cuff injuries ranges from 5% to 40%, and of course the prevalence increases with age until it reaches 51% in patients older than 80 years.

The diagnosis of rotator cuff injury is made based on clinical examination and instrumental investigations such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

Rotator cuff repair involves the use of anchors with included suture threads that allow the tendons to be returned to the level of the anatomical insertion, called the footprint.

Suture technique varies depending on the extent of injury and tendon and bone quality.

Single-row (single row) or double-row suture bridge (double-row suture bridge) anchoring techniques are currently a hotly debated topic in the literature.
