    Mid-termclinical and radiological outcomes of arthroscopic repair of isolated and combined subscapularis tears: A single-center experience
    (TURKISH ASSOC ORTHOPAEDICS TRAUMATOLOGY, 2021-01-01) Kurnaz, Recep; Ergun, Selim; Asci, Murat; Akgun, Umut; Gunes, Taner
    Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the mid-term clinical and radiological results of patients who underwent arthroscopic subscapularis (SSC) tendon repair and to address the possible effect of repair technique(single or double row), tear pattern, and concomitant procedures among supraspinatus tears and long head of biceps tendon (LHBT) pathologies on outcomes and failure parameters. Methods: 45 patients (24 female

    The effect of loop size on loop security and elongation of a knot
    (ELSEVIER MASSON, CORP OFF, 2020-01-01) Ergun, Selim; Akgun, Umut; Karahan, Mustafa
    Introduction: While repairing a teared rotator cuff tendon with suture anchors and horizontal mattress suture configurations, knots should be secure at time zero while approximating the tendon to the bone, otherwise any failure in loop security may cause undesired clinical results. Optimum distance between suture limbs passed through the tendon, in other words the bite size, is still not clear in the literature. The aim of this study was to test the effect of loop size, which is directly related to the bite size, on loop security and elongation of a knot. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that a knot with a smaller loop size would be more secure. We asked if a knot with shorter circumference (1) would offer a better knot security
