VIPLOK® ​

This was a retrospective, observational, single centre clinical study. This study was conducted to evaluate clinical and functional outcomes in patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff tear surgery using Sironix knotted and knotless suture anchors. The findings of current study devices appeared to be a safe and effective approach in providing acceptable post-operative recovery in RCT surgeries with no repair failures and agreeable functional improvement.

This was a retrospective cohort study of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair of posterosuperior tears, which was performed between January 2019 and December 2020 with a minimum follow-up of one year. The present study was undertaken to explore the efficacy, safety, clinical, and radiological outcomes of PEEK suture anchors in the treatment of arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs. The results of this study suggest that PEEK suture anchors (Ceptre® knotted suture anchor and Viplok® knotless anchor; Sironix, Healthium MedTech, India) are a viable option for successful surgery in the treatment of arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs without any major anchor related complications.

The study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of Sironix suture anchors in shoulder surgeries. Conducted between January 2021 and December 2022, the research involved 60 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff or Bankart repairs using various Sironix suture anchor devices including Ceptre Knotted UHMWPE Suture Titanium Anchor, Spyke Knotted UHMWPE Suture Peek Anchor, Stativ Knotted UHMWPE Suture Anchor, and Viplok Knotless Peek Screw Anchor with Titanium Tip. Postoperative outcomes were assessed using the PENN Shoulder Score (PSS), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score, and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE). The findings indicated no repair failures, with patients showing significant functional improvement and high satisfaction levels as evidenced by the mean Quick DASH score (32.01), PSS (71.65) and SANE scores for both injured (74.33) and non-injured (83.67) shoulder joints. The study concludes that Sironix suture anchors are both safe and effective for managing rotator cuff tears and Bankart lesions, contributing to improved shoulder function and quality of life.
