Abstract

The repeated pulling-out of a suture anchor in the lateral row despite repeated attempts at insertion during a rotator cuff repair is not uncommon with the suture-bridge technique, especially in patients with osteoporosis. We describe a simple procedure for dealing with the pull-out of a PushLock anchor in the lateral row using a suture anchor with a suture eyelet during rotator cuff repair applying the suture-bridge technique.
