"Double-Row Rip-Stop" Technique for Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.


ABSTRACT: Rotator cuff repair depends on both the fixation strength of the chosen repair construct and the local healing response of the repaired tissue. Among a growing discussion surrounding the superiority of one surgical technique over another, the surgeon's ability to complete a rotator cuff repair with technical acuity in a timely manner remains paramount. Double-row repairs as well as rip-stop configurations have been proposed to limit failures found after arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs. Implementation of both techniques during arthroscopic shoulder surgery may represent a technical challenge for the average orthopaedist. The purpose of this article is to give simple instructions for reproduction of an arthroscopic double-row rip-stop repair for rotator cuff fixation.
