Abstract
The footprint is thought to be an important fact in rotator cuff repairs and has been used to compare various cuff fixation techniques. The following experiment used two different measurement sensors to evaluate the footprint as it is affected by suture tensions in a transosseous equivalent suture bridge repair. It was found that suture tension has a direct effect on footprint contact area and pressure and thus could affect healing and fixation stability and should be characterized in any study of comparative fixation techniques.
