Abstract
The surgical treatment of rotator cuff tear, thanking to the advancement in technology and technique, has evolved during time. The tendon healing process is strictly correlated to the existing techniques of suturing, and to biological and mechanical factor. The aim of this paper is to update the advancements in techniques and technology for rotator cuff repair and propose an algorithm for rotator cuff fixation based on tissue quality and tear configuration. In conclusion, now a days, is possible to affirm that doesn't exist anymore an irreparable rotator cuff tear, but exist rotator cuff tear that are unable to heal. In the next future the main topic of the research has to be the improvement of the biology.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
