Editorial Commentary: All-Suture Anchors Are Evidence-Based and Biomechanically Sound but Require Additional Clinical Outcomes Evaluation

All-suture anchors (ASA) have gained great interest in our community, and multiple biomechanical studies have investigated their primary stability. Equal stability with similar load to failure has been observed for ASA in comparison to current standard implants. Although important biomechanical observations have been made, clinical outcomes are rare for ASA. Consequently, there is a lack of evidence for the clinical benefits of ASA.

Automated summary

All-suture anchors (ASA) have gained significant interest and have been extensively studied for their primary stability in biomechanics. They have shown similar stability and load to failure compared to current standard implants. However, clinical outcomes for ASA are rare, leading to a lack of evidence for their clinical benefits.
