What is the suturing technique used for shoulder arthroscopy?

Knots vs knot-less: To fix a rotator cuff tear arthroscopically, you have to do 3 things. 1: identify the torn cuff. 2: mobilize the torn cuff toinge bone. 3: secure the torn tendon to the bone. Arthroscopic suture techniques are used to complete part 3. Suture, with or with-out an anchor, is placed into the rotator cuff. Sometimes the sutures are tied to a bone anchor (knot) or impacted into bone (knot-less).

Highly Variable: It depends significantly on the type of surgery performed (rotator cuff, labrum, etc.) and also the skill and experience of the surgeon. Many surgeons use knotless devices where no knot tying is required, however, i recommend you seek out a shoulder specialist that ties knots for everything as the results are much better.
