Knotless Transosseous-Equivalent Rotator Cuff Repair Improves Biomechanical Self-reinforcement Without Diminishing Footprint Contact Compared With Medial Knotted Repair

This study biomechanically helps to validate studies that have shown clinical success with knotless transosseous-equivalent repair. The inhibition of self-reinforcement may provide a quantified biomechanical rationale for medial tear patterns seen with knotted repairs.
