Transosseous tunneling offers cost-effective fixation method for arthroscopic cuff repair

Transosseous repair of shoulder tendons offers a cost-effective, biologically advantageous, biomechanically sound and clinically effective fixation method for facilitating the healing of tendons to bone. As a result, it has been considered the gold standard of cuff repair for decades. During the last few decades, anchor-based repairs have become popular due to the ease-of-use, high-initial fixation strength and ability to apply fixation points arthroscopically.
