About
This study is to analyse whether there is a difference in clinical and radiological outcomes between single row and double row repair techniques for the treatment of shoulder's rotator cuff tears.
Full description
A tear of the rotator cuff is one of the most common disorders of the shoulder and can have a significant effect on daily activities as a result of a loss of motion and strength. The goal of rotator cuff repair is to treat the patient's current clinical symptoms and improve shoulder function and to prevent the long-term consequences of rotator cuff arthropathy. This project aims at a retrospective analysis of preexisting risk factors for sustaining rotator cuff injury as well as for failing to reach the previous functional level, used surgical technique -either single row repair or double row repair- and its significance for the functional outcome.
