The Advantages and Disadvantages of the Forward-Suture Suture Hook Technique With Lasso Loop for Forward Suture Passing

Advantages	Disadvantages
1.Our technique enables suture to be sutured forward without the use of traction sutures, which is fast and convenient.	1.The suture direction of our technique is opposite to that of the traditional suture hook suture process, which requires a learning process.
2.The portal for grasper to grab the suture is eliminated.	2.Once the suture loaded in the suture hook falls off before passing through the rotator cuff tendon, it needs to be reloaded again.
3.Our technique reduces the need to create additional operational portals, as suture hooks with different angels are available.
4.Our technique is applicable to a wide range of tear types and suture techniques, such as single-row anchors, double-row anchors, etc.
5.Our technique enables continuous suture and has a wide range of applications, which can be extended to related surgeries in the other joint.
6.In our technique, the direction of suture hook puncture is forward. (Suture hook pierces from the joint side of the tendon to the bursa side), so it can effectively avoid cartilage damage caused by suture hook tip.
