Current concepts in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Rotator cuff repair has experience great development, transitioning from open surgical techniques to minimally invasive arthroscopic methods. This review explores its historical development, current repair techniques, biomechanical considerations, and advances in materials and biological augmentation. It also addresses strategies for managing partial-thickness and massive tears, compares single-row and double-row repairs, and highlights the importance of individualized postoperative rehabilitation. By integrating biomechanical precision with biological innovations, modern rotator cuff repair aims to improve healing rates, reduce retear risk, and optimize functional outcomes.
