Compared to single row repair, use of lateral row anchors in suture bridge rotator cuff repair enhances repair strength and increases footprint contact area. If a lateral knotless anchor (push-in design) is inserted into osteoporotic bone, pull-out of the lateral row anchor can developed. However, failures of lateral row anchors have been reported at several months after surgery. In our cases, even though complete cuff healing occurred, delayed pull-out of the lateral row anchor in the suture bridge repair occurred. In comparison to a conventional medial anchor, further biomechanical evaluation of the pull-out force, design, and insertion angle of the lateral anchor is needed in future studies. We report three cases with delayed pull-out of lateral row anchor in suture bridge rotator cuff repair with a literature review.

Background: This study was performed to identify the incidence of screw in-type lateral anchor pull-out in patients older than 60 years who underwent rotator cuff repair for large to massive rotator cuff tear (RCT). Methods: We reviewed 25 patients over 60 who were diagnosed with large to massive RCT and underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in our hospital from March 2017 to February 2021. Preoperative tear size (anterior to posterior, medial to lateral) was measured via preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). All 25 patients underwent MRI scanning on postoperative day 1 and at 3 months after surgery. The change of anchor position was measured in axial views on MRI images postoperative day 1 and 3 months after surgery. And it was statistically compared according to bone mineral density (BMD), sex, and number of lateral anchors. Results: Two MRIs (postoperative day 1 and 3 months) in 25 patients were compared. Anchor pull-out occurred in six patients during 3 months (6.7%), and the mean pull-out length difference was 1.56 mm (range, 0.16-2.58 mm). There was no significant difference in the number of pull-out anchors, degree of pull-out difference by comparing BMD (A, BMD≤-2.5; B, BMD>-2.5), sex, or number of anchors used in each surgery (C, two anchors; D, three anchors) (p>0.05). Conclusions: Pull-out of screw in-type anchors was rarely observed and the mean pull-out length difference was negligibly small in our study. The screw in-type lateral anchor seems to be a decent option without concern of anchor pull-out even in elderly patients.

Repeated pulling-out of a suture anchor in the lateral row despite repeated attempts at insertion during a rotator cuff repair is not uncommon with the suture-bridge technique, especially in patients with osteoporosis. We describe a simple procedure for dealing with the pull-out of a PushLock anchor in the lateral row using a suture anchor with a suture eyelet during rotator cuff repair applying the suture-bridge technique.

One of the most important factors leading to a successful healing of rotator cuff tear is good bone quality to secure the suture anchor in the bone for a stable fixation. However, rotator cuff tear are commonly found in elderly patients, and their proximal humerus often shows osteoporosis or cystic lesions. Especially when the transosseous repair prevails for a torn rotator cuff, a weak metaphyseal cancellous bone is often the case, which associated with difficulty in stable fixation of the lateral row suture anchor. In this situation, we were able to augment the lateral row fixation with polymethylmethacrylate bone cement. Although there is a concern of disturbance in the blood flow and healing potential, our case showed good clinical results with respect to healing. If we suspect a weak fixation of the lateral row suture anchor, bone cement seems to be a good option for augmentation.

Seismic safety of continuous span concrete bridge can be enhanced by distributing a large seismic lateral load to each supporting pier. A new viscoelastic device called Shock Transmission Unit(STU), which is a simple cylinder-piston assembly packed with a so-called silicone putty compound, enables the lateral seismic load to be transmitted to the pier by installation of the device to movable bearings of the bridge. The seismic safety of concrete bridges having the STU depends on not only safety of the bridges globally but also safety of anchor systems which anchors the STU to concrete pier. An experimental investigation is performed to study the behavior of cast-in-place anchor and post-installed anchor subjected to shear load statically and cyclically according to different edge distance, embedment length, and anchor spacing. Finally, the experimental results are compared with results by design methods of ACI and CCD, and results by FEM analysis.

Column base connections are critical components in steel structures because they transfer axial forces, shear forces and moments to the foundation. Exposed column bases are quite commonly used in low- to medium-rise buildings. To investigate shear transfer in exposed column base plates, four large scale specimens were subjected to a combination of axial load (compression or tension) and lateral shear deformations. The main parameters examined experimentally include the number of anchor rod, arrangement of anchor rod, type of lateral loading, and axial force ratio. It is observed that the shear resisting mechanism of exposed column base changed as the axial force changed. When the axial force is in compression, the resisting mechanism is rotation type, and the shear force will be resisted by friction force between base plate and mortar layer. The specimens could sustain inelastic deformation with minimal strength deterioration up to column rotation angle of 3%. The moment resistance and energy dissipation will be increased as the number of anchor rods increased. Moreover, moment resistance could be further increased if the anchor rods were arranged in details. When the axial force is in tension, the resisting mechanism is slip type, and the shear force will be resisted by the anchor rods. And the shear resistance was reduced significantly when the axial force was changed from compression to tension. The test results indicated that the current design approach could estimate the moment resistance within reasonable acceptance, but overestimate the shear resistance of exposed column base.

목적: 만성 발목관절 외측 불안정성 환자에 대한 변형 Brostrom 술식에서 단일 봉합나사와 이중 봉합나사를 이용한 기법간의 임상 결과를 후향적으로 비교하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 본원에서 봉합나사를 이용한 변형 Brostrom 술식을 시행받은 환자들 중 최소 1년 이상 추시가 가능하였던 37례를 대상으로 하였다. 모든 수술은 동일한 술자에 의해 이루어졌으며 단일 봉합나사를 이용한 경우가 17예, 이중 봉합나사를 이용한 경우가 20예 였다. 임상적 결과의 평가는 Karlsson 점수 및 Sefton의 평가법을 이용하였고, 발목관절의 기계적인 안정성에 대한 방사선학적 평가로 Telos 기기를 이용한 전방 전위 및 내반 스트레스 검사가 이용되었다. 결과: Karlsson 점수는 단일 봉합나사군이 술 전 평균 45.2점에서 술 후 89.4점으로, 이중 봉합나사군이 술 전 평균 46.4점에서 90.5점으로 각각 호전되었다. Sefton 평가법상 단일 봉합나사군은 우수가 7예, 양호가 8예, 보통이 2예 였고, 이중 봉합나사군은 우수 8예, 양호 10예, 보통 2예로 나타나 각각 15례(88.2%), 18례(90%)에서 만족스러운 결과를 보였다. 스트레스 방사선검사 상 거골 경사각과 거골 전방전위는 단일 봉합나사군이 술 전 평균 13.6도, 8.6 mm에서 술 후 최종 추시시 5.4도, 4.1 mm로, 이중 봉합나사군이 술 전 평균 14.1도, 8.4 mm에서 술 후 3.9도, 4 mm로 각각 호전되었으며 두 기법간에 술 후 거골 경사각의 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 결론: 만성 발목관절 외측 불안정성에 대한 변형 Brostrom 술식에서 단일 봉합나사와 이중 봉합나사를 이용한 기법간에 술 후 임상 결과의 유의한 차이는 없었으나, 발목관절의 기계적인 안정성은 이중 봉합나사군에서 더 우수하였다. 단일 봉합나사와 이중 봉합나사를 이용한 변형 Brostrom 술식 모두 효과적인 치료 방법이라고 생각되며, 향후 운동 선수들을 대상으로 한 치료결과 및 생역학적 분석이 필요할 것으로 생각한다.

Purpose: The purpose of our study was to perform a comparison of the outcomes of the modified Brostrom procedure using only a suture anchor compared with using a suture anchor with a pushlock anchor. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of chronic lateral ankle instability that underwent a modified Brostrom procedure using a bioabsorbable suture anchor & a pushlock anchor, performed by a single surgeon. A total of 88 patients were enrolled in the study. The function of the patient's ankles were scored using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), visual analogue scale (VAS) both preoperatively and postoperatively. Results: The difference in the overall means between the group A and group B was not statistically significant. But, the patient's satisfaction was better in the group B, and there were more complications in the group A. Conclusion: The technique presented here uses the modified Brostrom procedure with pushlock anchors to prevent the problems associated with subcutaneous knot irritation.
