Abstract

The transosseous-equivalent Speedbridge™ technique is commonly used during rotator cuff repair; however, the soft bone of the lateral humerus may result in toggling of the lateral row anchors with subsequent de-tensioning of the repair. The technique presented here uses an additional third-row anchor, in a tripod fashion, that reduces the forces on the lateral humerus anchors and protects the repair.
