This video demonstrates rotator cuff repair using the advanced Arthrex SpeedBridge™ system, a modern double row rotator cuff repair technique designed to maximize tendon-to-bone compression and promote strong biological healing. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and allow lifting and rotation of the arm. When a rotator cuff tear occurs, patients may experience pain, weakness, and limited mobility. If left untreated, chronic tears can lead to progressive degeneration and long-term joint damage. Rotator cuff tear surgery restores the tendon to its anatomical footprint on the humerus, helping prevent further deterioration. The SpeedBridge™ technique uses a knotless, interconnected construct combining SwiveLock® anchors and FiberTape® fixation to create a strong, low-profile repair. The procedure begins with preparation of the rotator cuff tendon and humeral bone. A bone socket is created using a punch to accept the first SwiveLock® anchor, which comes preloaded with a FiberTape® loop. Once inserted, the FiberTape® is passed through the tendon using a FastPass Scorpion™ suture passer. This process is repeated for the second medial anchor. The FiberTape® loops are then trimmed and separated into tails. One tail from each medial anchor is retrieved and preloaded into a lateral SwiveLock® anchor. After preparing the lateral bone socket, the anchor is inserted, compressing the tendon down over its anatomical footprint. If needed, additional fixation can be achieved using FiberLink™ sutures and a fourth anchor to secure any remaining tendon edges. The final construct creates a broad compression bridge across the tendon—hence the name SpeedBridge™. Key benefits of this double row rotator cuff repair include: Increased footprint contact area Strong biomechanical fixation Knotless, low-profile design Improved tendon-to-bone healing environment Minimally invasive arthroscopic approach The Arthrex SpeedBridge™ system is widely used in arthroscopic shoulder surgery and sports medicine shoulder repair, offering durable fixation for small to large rotator cuff tears.
