Effect of bone quality on the cause of anchor fixation failure. A Distribution of BMD by the cause of failure. B Distribution of cortical thickness by the cause of failure. A BMD of 420 mg/cm3 or a cortical thickness of 0.33 mm were critical values below, which almost all tendon-bone interfaces failed by suture break.
