Abstract
The advancement of suture anchor design and technology has fostered the transition from open to arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Current suture-bridging constructs have greatly surpassed the biomechanical strength parameters of transosseous repairs and have shown impressive healing rates after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. This review describes this evolution and discusses the important characteristics of suture anchors.Mesh:
