Arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs (ARCRs) are common procedures that have been increasing in incidence. When performing ARCR, the surgeon often identifies an undesirable flap or fold, referred to as a “dog-ear” deformity, between sutures or knots. The height and/or thickness of a dog-ear deformity may decrease the rotator cuff–to–acromion distance, resulting in possible impingement and repair compromise. Furthermore, the goal of ARCR is to achieve complete restoration of the tendon-to-footprint relation. To restore the entire footprint, this lesion must be reduced and stabilized. We present a technique using looped sutures to augment the rotator cuff repair and prevent dog-ear formation. |
