Knot impingement after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair mimicking infection: A case report

Abstract: BACKGROUND Knot impingement as a complication after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) has been suggested as a cause of persistent pain with limited motion. We report on a case involving a patient who developed knot impingement after ARCR who complained of acute onset of pain with limited motion, which was confused with infection. CASE SUMMARY A 55-year-old female who complained of severe pain with limited motion of the right shoulder visited our emergency room. Pa… Show more

“…The conventional suture bridge techniques involved medial knots in the medial row of the tendon to provide increased repair strength and less gap development [ 1 , 2 ]. However, the medial knots may cause strangulation of the repaired tendon and eventually hamper the healing process and raise the chance of type 2 re-tears [ 3 5 ]. To avoid these risks, the knotless suture bridge techniques were implemented, in which the sutures were attached to medial anchors, passed through the tendon without knots, then secured with lateral knotless anchors [ 6 , 7 ].…”
