In group L, two No. 2 braided sutures were looped into the coracoid base for CC fixation. In groups M and A, 5.0 mm metallic suture anchors and 2.8 mm all-suture anchors were used, respectively. Prepared specimens were secured using a material testing machine. Each specimen was tested with a preload between 0 and 20 N for 10 cycles, cyclic loading between 20 and 70 N for 1000 cycles, and final loading to failure. Cyclic elongation, linear stiffness, ultimate load, and failure modes were recorded.ResultsAll the specimens were subjected to cyclic loading tests. Elongation after cyclic loading in group L (1.0 ± 0.2 mm) was significantly smaller than that in groups M (1.4 ± 0.2 mm) (<i>p</i> = .002) and A (2.5 ± 1.1 mm) (<i>p</i> < .001).

Pre- and postoperative sleep quality was assessed using the Korean version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (K-PSQI), and pain was measured using the pain visual analog scale (pVAS). Sleep duration was monitored using <i>Fitbit Inspire 2</i> trackers post-surgery. Statistical analyses were conducted to evaluate the relationship between sleep quality, pain, and postoperative recovery.ResultsThe mean preoperative PSQI score (9.5 ± 6.0) indicated sleep disturbances, with elevations in sleep latency and disturbances. Six weeks post-surgery, PSQI decreased significantly to 6.4 ± 3.3 (<i>p</i> = .03), with marked improvements in sleep quality and efficiency.
