Modified Suture-Bridge Technique to Prevent a Marginal Dog-Ear Deformity Improves Structural Integrity After Rotator Cuff Repair

Abstract

A modified suture-bridge technique to prevent a marginal dog-ear deformity provided better structural outcomes than a conventional suture-bridge technique for medium-sized to massive rotator cuff tears. This technique may ultimately provide better functional outcomes by decreasing the retear rate.
