Arthroscopic suture retrievers and shuttles: a biomechanical investigation of the force required for tendon penetration and defect size

BACKGROUND: To compare instruments designed for arthroscopic suture handling during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, to assess the force needed to penetrate the tendon, and to evaluate the residual defect size. METHODS: Twenty-one instruments were each tested ten times on thawed sheep infraspinatus...
