Abstract

15. Ann Biomed Eng. 2004 Jan;32(1):166-70. doi: 10.1023/b:abme.0000007801.44277.df. The principle of margin convergence in rotator cuff repair as a means of strain reduction at the tear margin. Burkhart SS(1). Author information: (1)The Orthopaedic Institute, San Antonio, TX , USA. ssburkhart@msn.com The principle of margin convergence applied to rotator cuff repair is achieved by side-to-side suture of the cuff tear in order to converge the free margin of the cuff toward its bone bed. This technique dramatically reduces strain along the "converged" margin, thereby protecting the tendon-bone repair interface during the critical phases of healing.
