title: Impingement syndrome of the shoulder following double row suture anchor technique for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Arthroscopic repair of the rotator cuff is a demanding surgery. Accurate placement of anchors is key to success.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 38-year-old woman received arthroscopic repair of her rotator cuff using a double row suture anchor technique. Postoperatively, she developed impingement syndrome which resulted from vertical displacement of a suture anchor once the shoulder was mobilised. The anchor was removed eight weeks following initial surgery and the patient had an uneventful recovery.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Impingement syndrome following arthroscopic repair of the rotator cuffs using double row suture anchor has not been widely reported. This is the first such case where anchoring has resulted in impingement syndrome.
