“Triple Package” Modified SpeedBridge Rotator Cuff Repair Technique

ABSTRACT: Treatment of full-thickness rotator cuff repairs vary in surgical technique depending on many factors including tear geometry, delamination of soft tissue, tissue quality, and rotator cuff retraction. The described technique presents a reproducible method of addressing tear patterns where the tear may be larger laterally, but the medial footprint exposure is small. This can be addressed with a single medial anchor combined with a knotless lateral-row technique to provide compression for small tears or two medial row anchors for moderate to large tears. In this modification of the standard knotless double row (SpeedBridge) technique, 2 medial row anchors are used, with 1 augmented with additional fiber tape and an additional lateral row anchor to create a triangular repair construct, increa
