Switching Stick–Guided Spinal Needle Repair Technique for Small Size Rotator Cuff Tear

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Symptomatic small rotator cuff tears are a common issue for orthopedic surgeons. While arthroscopic repair is the standard treatment after conservative methods fail, no consensus exists on the ideal technique. This study presents a rotator cuff tissue-preserving repair method using a switching stick and spinal needle, which is reproducible, easy to learn, and ensures equal tendon tissue tension post-repair.
