Abstract
Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common tendon injuries. Despite advancements in rotator cuff repair techniques, outcomes remain variable. We describe repair of small rotator cuff tears with a sutureless PEEK (polyether ether ketone) implant, which eliminates the need for suture management, avoids knot tying, provides multiple fixation points, and distributes compression over a broad surface area that may enhance blood flow and healing.
