arthrex rotator cuff repair workshop

Описание: Arthrex offers a comprehensive range of rotator cuff anchors designed to facilitate both knotted and knotless repair techniques, catering to various surgical preferences and patient needs.

Knotted Rotator Cuff Repair:

For surgeons who prefer traditional knotted techniques, Arthrex provides several anchor options:

Corkscrew® FT Anchors: These fully threaded anchors are designed for maximum fixation strength and straightforward insertion. They feature a unique FiberWire® suture eyelet that allows for continuous threads along the entire anchor length, ensuring excellent fixation strength and stability.

SutureBridge™ Double Row Technique: This method enhances footprint compression, which may promote tendon healing to bone. It combines tied medial rows with knotless lateral fixation using PushLock® or SwiveLock® anchors, resulting in a secure, low-profile repair with excellent tendon-to-bone contact.


Knotless Rotator Cuff Repair:

Arthrex's knotless solutions aim to reduce surgical time and minimize potential complications associated with knot impingement:

FiberTak® SpeedBridge™ Technique: This advanced knotless repair utilizes 2.6 FiberTak RC soft anchors on the medial row and FiberTape® sutures laterally fixated with SwiveLock® anchors. The small size of the FiberTak RC anchors allows for multiple fixation points within the rotator cuff footprint, creating a quick and secure construct with minimal suture-passing steps.

SpeedFix™ Single Row Technique: This method employs a knotless SwiveLock® anchor combined with FiberTape® suture to achieve quick and secure single-row fixation. It's particularly beneficial for cases with poor tissue quality, as it allows for the addition of a FiberLink™ Rip-Stop suture, providing an improved knotless alternative to traditional triple-loaded suture anchors that require knot tying.


Knotless Suture Anchors:

Arthrex's knotless suture anchors, such as the PushLock® and SwiveLock® anchors, offer versatility, speed, and security in rotator cuff repairs. Available in various sizes, materials, and eyelet configurations, these anchors allow for suture tension to be visualized and adjusted before being securely locked into position, accommodating a wide range of surgical scenarios.

These innovative solutions reflect Arthrex's commitment to advancing orthopedic surgical techniques, providing surgeons with the tools necessary to achieve optimal patient outcomes in rotator cuff repair.
