Perianchor Cyst Formation Is Similar Between All-Suture and Conventional Suture Anchors Used for Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair in the Same Shoulder.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to compare perianchor cyst formation between soft and hard suture anchors placed in the same patient 1 year after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR).

Methods

This study reviewed patients who underwent primary ARCR using a "hybrid" technique using at least one soft anchor (FiberTak, Arthrex, Naples, FL) and one hard anchor (SwiveLock) placed in the same shoulder between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018. Magnetic resonance imaging was obtained at minimum 1-year postoperative to assess cyst formation (perianchor fluid signal) and rotator cuff healing. Range of motion (ROM) and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were evaluated at baseline and 1-year follow up. PROMs included visual analog scale pain score, Simple Shoulder Te
