Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) has become the gold standard management for rotator cuff repair. Double-row repairs have shown increased biomechanical strength and enhanced anatomic footprint coverage. The advancement of knotless techniques has led to decreased operating room time and reduced overall costs. We prefer a suture-bridging double-row repair for most rotator cuff repairs and incorporate a knotless medial mattress sutures (double-pulley technique) for additional support as needed.
