Yes.

Okay, perfect.

Great.

Well, thanks for having me.

As Eric mentioned, my practice is in Medford.

I actually grew up in Oregon.

I grew up in the Dalles.

like that.

Tell me, why would I do this? What is the advantage of using an all suture anchor on your medial row over a hard body anchor?

Yeah, I'll just back up too and say, you know, I was really slow to adopt this idea.

I trained with Steve Burkhardt and he was initially very opposed to soft anchors because there were these canine studies that in the glenoid showed a potential for cystic change.

But over time, I became an advocate for a couple of reasons.

Number one is that you have less violation of footprint.

They're simply just smaller.

And I really believe in trying to preserve as much native bone as you possibly can because tendon heals to bone.

Maybe we can juxtapose your thoughts on this with, with Mark's and Alan's.
