Novel and reproducible technique coping with intraoperative anchor pullout during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair

ConclusionIntraoperative anchor pullout during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is an uncommon but cumbersome complication. There are some techniques already introduced to deal with this complication. In comparison, not one technique is overwhelmingly superior to others; however, our new technique which is bar anchoring with a threaded Steinmann pin could be another solution, since it could utilize primary anchor sites and results appear to be acceptable.Level of evidence III.
