In rotator cuff repairs, it is often necessary to pass 2 tails of 2 sutures through 1 transosseous hole to maximize the number of sutures per hole. We report on a simple technique with a double-loop suture thread that allows the passing of more than 1 suture limb through the same hole. This simple device, the simple suture shuttle, used in cuff repairs in combination with the modified Mason-Allen suture technique, significantly reduces the difficulty of passing more than 1 suture tail through a single bone tunnel. By reducing the number of bone tunnels, the weakening of a bone that might not be very strong is kept to a minimum. The Simple Suture Shuttle can also be used to pass more sutures through a given number of transosseous holes.
在肩袖修复术中，通常需要将两根缝线的两个线尾穿过一个骨隧道，以使每个骨隧道中的缝线数量最大化。我们报告一种使用双环缝合线的简单技术，该技术可使多条缝线肢体穿过同一个骨隧道。这种简单的装置，即简易缝线穿梭器，与改良的梅森-艾伦缝合技术相结合用于肩袖修复，显著降低了将多条缝线尾端穿过单个骨隧道的难度。通过减少骨隧道的数量，可将对可能不太坚固的骨骼的削弱降至最低。简易缝线穿梭器还可用于在给定数量的骨隧道中穿过更多缝线。
