Biomechanical testing of a new knotless suture anchor compared with established anchors for rotator cuff repair
Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 07/14/08

Pietschmann MF et al. - The Bioknotless™ RC indicated comparable maximal pullout strength, it bares the risk of losing contact between the tendon-bone-interface due to a significantly higher system displacement. Therefore, gap formation between the bone and the soft tissue fixation jeopardizes the repair. Bioknotless™ RC should be used in the lateral row only when a double row technique for rotator cuff repair is performed, and is not appropriate for rotator cuff repair if used on its own.
