Biomechanical properties of a suture anchor system from human allogenic mineralized cortical bone matrix for rotator cuff repair.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Suture anchors (SAs) made of human allogenic mineralized cortical bone matrix are among the newest developments in orthopaedic and trauma surgery. Biomechanical properties of an allogenic mineralized suture anchor (AMSA) are not investigated until now. The primary objective was the biomechanical investigation of AMSA and comparing it to a metallic suture anchor (MSA) and a bioabsorbable suture anchor (BSA) placed at the greater tuberosity of the humeral head of cadaver humeri. Additionally, we assessed the biomechanical properties of the SAs with bone microarchitecture parameters.

Methods

First, bone microarchitecture of 12 fresh frozen human cadaver humeri from six donors was analyzed by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography. In total, 18 AM
