1. Bone Preparation
The first step is to get a bleeding surface so the cops and the bone heal together.
2. Anchor Insertion
We then screw the suture anchor into the bone. It is an anchor with sutures coming out of it that we will pass through the cuff.
3. Passing Sutures
We can use a unique device to pass the sutures through the rotator cuff and retrieve them.
4. Tying Knots
We then tie the sutures together to secure the rotator cuff to the bone.
