Suture anchors and biomechanical setup. A Suture anchors tested in the study. 1: allogenic mineralized suture anchor (SharkScrew® suture), 2: metallic suture anchor (HEALIX TI™), 3: bioabsorbable suture anchor (BioComposite SwiveLock®). B The humerus is fixed in the uniaxial spindle-operated testing machine. The adjustable fixation device and the transversal bar (white star) prevent slipping and sliding of the specimen during biomechanical testing. The suture anchor is fixed at the greater tuberosity of the humeral head (black star) and the sutures of the anchor are knotted together and fixed on a hook for uniaxial testing at 135°
