Cyclic and load-to-failure properties of all-suture anchors in human cadaveric shoulder glenoid bone
Arthroscopy Apr 14, 2019
Ruder JA, et al. - Investigators performed 104 tests in 13 matched pairs of human cadaveric fresh-frozen glenoids to explore the cyclic displacement and ultimate load to failure of 4 all-suture anchors. Significantly less displacement was noticed in the Q-Fix anchors after 100 cycles (mean ± standard deviation, 1.40 ± 0.97 mm) and 200 cycles (1.53 ± 1.00 mm) as compared to all other anchors tested. They observed that the Q-Fix (191.3 ± 65.8 N), Suturefix (188.3 ± 61.4 N), and JuggerKnot (183.6 ± 63.5 N) anchors had significantly greater ultimate loads to failure vs the Iconix anchors (143.5 ± 54.1 N). The occurrence of displacement greater than 5 mm was recorded in 6 Iconix anchors (22.1%), 5 Suturefix anchors (19.2%), 4 JuggerKnot anchors (15.4%), and 0 Q-Fix anchors (0%). Only the Q-Fix group was concluded with no anchors displaced greater than 5 mm with cyclic loading.
