The principle of margin convergence applied to rotator cuff repair is achieved by side-to-side suture of the cuff tear in order to converge the free margin of the cuff toward its bone bed. This technique dramatically reduces strain along the "converged" margin, thereby protecting the tendon-bone repair interface during the critical phases of healing.
应用于肩袖修复的边缘汇聚原则是通过肩袖撕裂处的侧对侧缝合来实现的，以便使肩袖的游离边缘向其骨床汇聚。该技术显著降低了沿“汇聚”边缘的应变，从而在愈合的关键阶段保护肌腱-骨修复界面。
