Möglichkeiten der speedbridge-technik

For successful arthroscopic or open repair of rotator cuff lesions the balance between sufficient fixation strength lasting long enough for tendon healing and no further damage to the degenerative or traumatically compromised biological healing mechanism is crucial. With bridging techniques an advantage is assumed compared to the established techniques. In particular with the Speedbridge technique sufficient tendon healing is expected due to knotless and laminar fixation of the ruptured tendons. Besides the originally described knotless and crossed double row configuration with four anchors this technique can also be applied in a knotless V, W (so-called Cassiopeia) or even VW configuration. The common objective is a tailored and tissue preserving repair of rotator cuff lesions with simultaneous high user friendliness.
