Suture Bridge Technique

The Suture Bridge Technique is a surgical method used to repair damaged or torn shoulder tendons, especially the rotator cuff. It involves securing strong sutures (stitches) around the torn tendon and attaching them to the bone using specialized anchors. These sutures are then crisscrossed over the tendon in a "bridge" pattern, providing strong, even compression that promotes healing. This technique enhances footprint coverage, improves the stability of the repair, and helps restore shoulder function by securely reattaching the tendon to its original position on the bone.
