Abstract
At present, the suture bridge is a widely used surgical pattern in the treatment of supraspinatus tendon tear, but the shortcomings of a suture bridge, including expensive lateral-row anchor and increased type 2 retear rate, is obvious. The double-pulley suture-bridge described in this Technical Note uses a double-loaded suture anchor (medial-row anchor) as lateral-row anchor instead of traditional lateral-row anchor, combined with double-pulley technology forming suture-bridge in treatment of supraspinatus tendon tears. The surgical technique is described in pearls, pitfalls, advantages, and disadvantages.
