Abstract

Background: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair procedures are performed to maximize clinical and functional outcomes. The surgical sector is experiencing a surge in repair surgeries involving arthroscopic repair of torn tendons using surgical implants. The study aimed to evaluate the safety and functional outcomes of rotator cuff tear repair using Sironix suture anchors.

Methods: Patients with a mean age of 53.8 years who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using a Sironix suture anchor between January 2019 and June 2022 were included in this retrospective observational study. Postoperatively, patients were assessed using the American shoulder and elbow surgeons score (ASES), level of activity using the simple shoulder test questionnaire (SST), quality of life using the shoulder pain and disability index scale (SPADI), the single assessment numerical evaluation score (SANE), and adverse events associated with study devices.

Results: Significant and clinically relevant ASES, SST, SPADI, and SANE scores were observed in all patients. The mean (SD) values of total ASES, SST, and SPADI scores were 91.6 (6.21), 94.1 (10.74), and 1.3 (2.48), respectively. The mean (SD) value of total SANE score in the affected joint was 95.8 (7.70), and the opposite side was 99.0 (3.04). No serious adverse events were reported.

Conclusions: Sironix suture anchors (CEPTRE^® knotted UHMWPE suture PEEK anchor, CEPTRE^® knotted UHMWPE suture PLDLA-βTCP anchor, VIPLOK^® knotless PEEK anchor with titanium tip and VIPLOK^® knotless PLDLA-βTCP anchor with titanium tip) have proven to be both safe and effective in repairing rotator cuff tears, enhancing shoulder function without any serious adverse effects.
