Arthroscopic Footprint Reconstruction of Bursal-side Delaminated Rotator Cuff Tears using the Suture-bridge Technique

It has been demonstrated that several factors are associated with re-tear after rotator cuff repair, including age, tear size, tendon quality, muscle atrophy and fatty

The factors that appear to be determinants for re- tear after repair and postoperative recovery include the suture strength, 4) the contact area and contact pressure at
