Abstract

Approximately 250,000 rotator cuff surgeries are performed annually in the USA.1 However, a recurrent tear rate of 20%-70% has been reported in the literature.^2-7 In an attempt to decrease the rate of re-tear, efforts to improve tendon to bone fixation were investigated, which focused on using stronger suture material and arthroscopic knots to improve the strength of the repair, coupled with innovative surgical techniques that were aimed at restoring the footprint and reproducing the native anatomy. These technical changes have not been successful at decreasing the rate of re-tear, thus prompting surgeons to investigate biological strategies to decrease failure rates.
