The Arthroscopic "Montgolfier Double-Row Knotless" Rotator Cuff Repair Technique.


ABSTRACT: Contemporary arthroscopic double-row suture anchor rotator cuff repairs have superior biomechanics compared with prior iterations. Numerous techniques have been described, but consensus regarding value has yet to be established. We describe an effective and easily reproducible technique: the arthroscopic "Montgolfier double-row" repair technique. This knotless construct has an evenly distributed, load-sharing, radially oriented suture limb configuration much like the envelope cables of a Montgolfier hot-air balloon, its namesake. Other advantages include the ability to apply manual, progressive and calculated tension on each suture limb and easy intraoperative modification depending on tear size, shape, and delamination, as well as tissue tension and quality. Future studies are needed to validate the biomechanics and clinical outcomes of this technique.
