  • Very helpful. Great job.

  • I DON'T WANT THIS. /:

  • No wonder my repair and recovery has been SOOO painful!!!

  • This is a good video of this. I STILL DON'T WANT TO DO IT!!! :(

  • most informative rotator cuff surgery video I've seen.  Thanks for posting!

  • Video showed just how it is done.

  • Thanks for posting this. This is by far the best rotator cuff repair video I've seen. I'm a new grad physician assistant in orthopedics. Sometimes it gets a bit confusing during these arthroscopic repairs. This video was a great teaching tool!

  • That is not bad, a great learning tool, I am motivated now to try it on myself, however, I am thinking a different knot though. When you drilled the hole for the anchor, do you 'Tap' the hole for the thread in the Anchor? Do you use Ti or Stainless materials? What are sutures made from? Is recovery 100%

  • Okay, that was very good! Are the anchors biodegradable? Could one just omit the two anchors, but thread the sutures through the cortical bone (in one anchor hole and out of the other)? I see here how the sutures could be soaked in either stem cells, anti-inflammatory drugs, hyaluronic acid to prevent adhesions, or other small molecules to deliver the desired healing factor in situ and increase its biological half life. Any thoughts?

  • when the final knots are made,

    what are the chances of one of those knots coming undone?
