All-suture soft anchors versus metal anchors in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: a multicenter randomized clinical trial
ASSA showed comparable safety and efficacy to MA in ARCR after 12 months of follow-up, with superior improvement in early functional recovery and pain alleviation in midterm (6-month) functional recovery and pain relief, supporting its use as an alternative suture anchor for ARCR.
