Do anchor design and bone mineral density affect the pull-out strength of suture anchors in rotator cuff repair?
Anchor design and bone mineral density affect pull-out strength, suggesting specific placement strategies for suture anchors in rotator cuff repair.
Suture anchors should be placed in the proximal-anterior and -middle parts of the greater tuberosity. In the distal parts, biodegradable hook-like anchors should be used with caution.
Tingart et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
