Abstract
The author has previously elucidated and advocated various biomechanical pr inciples for application in rotator cuff repair. This article is an attempt to link all these concepts together into a unified stepwise approach to ar throscopic rotator cuff repair that will maximize the strength of the repai r for all tear configurations.
