The Chinese Knot Stitch Technique Using a Footprint Ultrasuture Anchor for Rotator Cuff Repair

The Chinese Knot Stitch Technique Using a Footprint Ultrasuture Anchor for Rotator Cuff Repair

Management of the rotator cuff presents specific challenges to orthopaedic surgeons. Several locking suture methods have been reported but often fail for a number of reasons. We describe a different technique that is easy to perform and inspired by the Chinese knot, an arthroscopic double-locking su...
