He highlights the prevalence of rotator pain and the importance of successful rotator cuff repair. Dr. Farrow explains that the key determinants of rotator cuff healing are anatomy, biomechanics, and biology. He emphasizes the need to control the factors that can be controlled, such as anatomy and biomechanics, to achieve successful rotator cuff repair. He also discusses the different techniques for rotator cuff repair, including single row, double row, and transosseous equivalent techniques. Dr. Farrow concludes by highlighting the importance of visualizing the anatomy, achieving tension-free repair, and simplifying complex tear patterns for successful outcomes in rotator cuff surgery.
