About

This study is aprospective cohort study on the outcome of a combination of bone marrow stimulation and modified suture bridge in the arthroscopic treatment of small and medium rotator cuff tear. The patients with small to medium rotator cuff injuries (less than 3cm in diameter) requiring arthroscopic surgery were collected. The patients were followed up before and 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after surgery, including pain, functional score, joint range of motion, MRI and CT findings, complications and other quantitative and qualitative indicators. The self-control and intra group analysis were performed to evaluate the treatment effect; and the correlation analysis was performed on the treatment results To determine the important factors affecting the therapeutic effect.
