Single versus double row suture anchor fixation for greater tuberosity fractures – a biomechanical study

Single versus double row suture anchor fixation for greater tuberosity fractures – a biomechanical study

Abstract Background Fractures of the humeral greater tuberosity (GT) are a frequent injury progressively treated with arthroscopic suture anchor repair. Yet, no biomechanical study has been performed comparing fixation strength of arthroscopic single- (SR) vs. double row (DR) fixation. Methods Stand...
