“…The cranial and caudal arms of the MGHL and the joint capsule were imbricated by using a cinch and simple stitch, respectively, and secured to the glenoid rim with knotless anchors. [31][32][33] The technique is described in more detail in the Figures 1 and 2. The cranial arm of the MGHL was imbricated by using 1.5-mm LabralTape (Arthrex) and a 2.9-mm knotless anchor (2.9-mm Push-Lock, Arthrex) that was inserted through the craniomedial port.…”

“…Development of rotator cuff surgical repair models in sheep, canine, and rat have provided insight into the role of complex loading in the shoulder on degeneration and healing. Large animals, such as sheep and canine, have been used to evaluate surgical techniques as their size allows for use of similar approaches and techniques as those used in humans . Despite its small size, the similar anatomy between the rat and the human, including the presence of a CA arch that encloses the SS tendon, has made this model particularly conducive for investigation of the role of extrinsic factors in healing .…”

Supraspinatus (SS) tendon tears are common musculoskeletal injuries whose surgical repair exhibits the highest incidence of re-tear of any tendon. Development of therapeutics for improving SS tendon healing is impaired by the lack of a model that allows biological perturbations to identify mechanisms that underlie ineffective healing. The objective of this study was to develop a mouse model of supraspinatus insertion site healing by creating a reproducible SS tendon detachment and surgical repair which can be applied to a wide array of inbred mouse strains and genetic mutants. Anatomical and structural analyses confirmed that the rotator cuff of the mouse is similar to that of human, including the presence of a coracoacromial (CA) arch and an insertion site that exhibits a fibrocartilagenous transition zone. The surgical repair was successfully conducted on seven strains of mice that are commonly used in Orthopaedic Research suggesting that the procedure can be applied to most inbred strains and genetic mutants. The quality of the repair was confirmed with histology through 14 days after surgery in two mouse strains that represent the variation in mouse strains evaluated. The developed mouse model will allow us to investigate mechanisms involved in insertion site healing. ß

“…This model for repair of ligament avulsions has been evaluated in a cadaveric sheep model using experimentally created rotator cuff tears and comparing it to conventional transosseous techniques and showed no statistical difference in repair strength (Onay et al . ).…”

Summary This case report describes a technique for repair of medial collateral ligament avulsions in two horses. Both horses sustained traumatic injuries resulting in avulsion fractures at the origin of their medial tarsal and carpal collateral ligaments. This report describes the use of a knotless suture anchor to mechanically reconstruct medial collateral ligament avulsion injuries in two horses. The first horse, a 9‐year‐old Hannovarian Warmblood gelding presented for an acute nonweightbearing lameness in the right hindlimb. The injury was localised to the medial malleolus of the tibia and an avulsion fracture of the origin of the short medial collateral ligament of the tibiotarsal joint with disruption of the ligament was found on radiographs and ultrasound. The horse was taken to surgery and a reconstruction of the short medial collateral ligament was performed with a modified single row construct using a biocompatible, multistrand, long chain ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene braided composite suture tape (2 mm Fibertape) and a single knotless suture anchor (5.5 × 19.1 mm PEEK SwivelLock C). The second horse, a 5‐year‐old Thoroughbred gelding presented for an acute nonweightbearing lameness in the left forelimb. The injury was localised to the medial styloid process of the radius and an avulsion fracture of the origin of the medial collateral ligament of the antebrachial carpal joint was found on radiographs and ultrasound. The horse was taken to surgery and a similar reconstruction procedure was performed to the collateral ligament. Both horses were recovered in a Robert Jones bandage without the use of casts or splints and recovered without incident. Both horses are sound and returned to previous level of athletic performance at 18 months and 8 months, respectively.
