Abstract

The author has previously elucidated and advocated various biomechanical principles for application in rotator cuff repair. This article is an attempt to link all these concepts together into a unified stepwise approach to arthroscopic rotator cuff repair that will maximize the strength of the repair for all tear configurations.
