Objectives. The objective of this study was to compare the damage to the rotator cuff tendons caused by four different anchor systems.Methods. 20 cadaveric human shoulder joints were used for transtendon insertion of four anchor systems. The Healix Peek, Fastin RC, Bio-Corkscrew Suture, and Healix Transtend anchors were inserted through the tendons using standard transtendon procedures. The areas of tendon damage were measured.Results. The areas of tendon damage (mean ± standard deviation,n=7) were 29.1 ± 4.3 mm2for the Healix Peek anchor, 20.4 ± 2.3 mm2for the Fastin RC anchor, 23.4 ± 1.2 mm2for the Bio-Corkscrew Suture anchor, 13.7 ± 3.2 mm2for the Healix Transtend anchor inserted directly, and 9.1±2.1 mm2for the Healix Transtend anchor inserted through the Percannula system (P<0.001orP<0.001, compared to other anchors).Conclusions. In a cadaver transtendon rotator cuff repair model, smaller anchors caused less damage to the tendon tissues. The Healix Transtend implant system caused the least damage to the tendon tissues. Our findings suggest that smaller anchors should be considered when performing transtendon procedures to repair partial rotator cuff tears.

Abstract Background Some unusual rotator cuff (RC) tears are located in more proximal tendinous portions, with substantial remnant tissue attached to the footprint. The two options for surgical repair are sacrificing or preserving the remnant tissue. We introduce a surgical repair technique that preserves as much of the remnant footprint as possible. Surgical technique A double-loaded suture anchor is inserted into the subchondral bone at the medial portion of the RC footprint; the lateral remnant tissue is preserved. Each strand is shuttled and repassed through the medial portion of the tendon in a mattress fashion using a suture hook device. Then, multiple no. 1 PDS sutures are passed through the medial and lateral stumps and left untied. Strands from the suture anchor are first tied in a double mattress fashion. Then, the repair is completed by tying the remaining no. 1 PDS sutures. Conclusions We propose a remnant-preserving RC repair technique for transtendinous RC tears with sufficient tissue remaining within the RC footprint. This technique appears advantageous in terms of re-establishing an environment that promotes tendon healing after repair.
