A comparison of the double-locking loop stitching technique and traditional repair techniques for partial-thickness bursal-side rotator cuff tears: randomized controlled trial
Both techniques provided satisfactory functional recovery and pain relief for PT-BRCTs exceeding 50% of tendon thickness. However, DLLST achieved faster functional restoration while preserving tendon integrity, suggesting its potential as a biomechanically advantageous alternative.
