3-in-1 Hybrid Suture Bridge Technique in Posterosuperior Rotator Cuff Tear.

ABSTRACT: Our technique repaired the posterosuperior rotator cuff tear in the full-thickness type. The key successful of the arthroscopic full-thickness rotator cuff repair has several suture techniques. First, it will distribute a tensile force throughout the entire tendon. Second, it will improve tendon healing by getting it closer to the medial anatomical footprint. Third, the suture bridge compression technique has been used to compress all layers of the repaired tendon against the bone with the total contact area. Fourth, it reduces the risk of cut through the rotator cuff and the rate of rotator cuff retear with a tension free repair. We used three suture limbs in one hole to reduce rotator cuff damage and the rate of retear and also only tie three medial row knots. The reasons are to compress
