National trends in rotator cuff repair have demonstrated a 600% increase in arthroscopic procedures from 1996-2006.1 There are multiple repair techniques, each with their own purported benefits. The most commonly evaluated repair techniques are the single row and double row repair. Whether single-row (SR) or double-row (DR) result in a clinically significant difference has not been fully resolved.2–4 Advancements in anchor technology have focused on material usage or fixation methods. The development of a triple loaded anchor (3 suture limbs) has the potential advantage of decreasing anchor usage. This has the advantage of saving greater tuberosity real estate and decreasing repair costs.
