Kim KC, Shin HD, Lee WY, et al (Chungnam Natl Univ, Daejeon, Korea) Am J Sports Med 40:294-299, 2012^§

Abstract

Background

Only a few studies have examined repair integrity and functional outcome after arthroscopic suture-bridge rotator cuff repair procedure. In addition, no reported study has compared outcomes between the suture-bridge and double-row techniques.

Purpose

This study compared the functional outcome and repair integrity of arthroscopic double-row and conventional suture-bridge repair in full-thickness rotator cuff tears.

Study Design

Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2.
