  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Arthroscopic Transosseous Rotator Cuff Repair

Abstract

Numerous technologies and techniques have been developed over time, and the repair being focused on tunnel creation, it is useful to understand original motivations supporting various technological solutions proposed and how these can impact over the final repair efficacy.
