TY - JOUR AU - Fei, Wenyong AU - Guo, Weichun PY - 2015 DA - 2015/06/16 TI - A biomechanical and histological comparison of the suture bridge and conventional double-row techniques of the repair of full-thickness rotator cuff tears in a rabbit model JO - BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders SP - 148 VL - 16 IS - 1 AB - The suture bridge (SB) technique and conventional double-row (DR) are both effective in repair of full-thickness rotator cuff tears . However, increasing numbers of scholars believe that the SB technique produces better results than conventional DR because of the higher bone-tendon contact area and pressure. However, The clinical outcomes have been mixed and little direct evidence has been supplied in vivo. This study was designed using the SB and DR techniques to determine which is the better technique.
