N1 - Purpose: To evaluate the selected biomechanical differences of a double-row trans-osseous equivalent rotator cuff repair with a knotless versus knot-tying medial row using suture tape in regard to repair displacement, stiffness, and ultimate load to failure. Methods: In 16 fresh-frozen human shoulders (8 matched pairs), double-row rotator cuff repairs were performed with medial-row mattress knots (MK) on one side, the other without (NK).
