Abstract
Rotator cuff tears (complete and partial) are surgically repaired without needing more dermal access than percutaneous punctures. The surgeon is afforded a range of options for where to place a second tunnel in the bone, and selection by the surgeon of a desired bone bridge size is provided in advance of tunnel construction. Also, stitching in rotator cuff surgery can be accomplished without the need for suture anchors or added cost of secondary suture passers. Multiple stitch configurations including X-patterns are possible with combinations of preloaded loops and or sutures passed simultaneously through tissue and bone. Fixation is achieved without the use of suture anchors, buttons or other rigid implants.
