Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common tendon injuries. Despite advancements in rotator cuff repair techniques, outcomes remain variable. We describe repair of small rotator cuff tears with a sutureless PEEK (polyether ether ketone) implant, which eliminates the need for suture management, avoids knot tying, provides multiple fixation points, and distributes compression over a broad surface area that may enhance blood flow and healing.
肩袖撕裂是最常见的肌腱损伤之一。尽管肩袖修复技术有所进步,但治疗结果仍存在差异。我们描述了使用无缝合聚醚醚酮(PEEK)植入物修复小型肩袖撕裂,该植入物无需缝线管理,避免打结,提供多个固定点,并在广泛的表面积上分布压力,这可能会促进血流和愈合。
