Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic double-row rotator cuff repair. 31 patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tears had been repaired arthroscopically by the double-row technique. We evaluated the clinical status before and after surgery. The average follow-up was 9.9 months (8-12 months). The evaluation was done by using the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) rating scale. The mean UCLA score increased from the preoperative 12.4 to 30.3, 32.3% of the patients showed excellent results, 54.8% good results, 12.9% fair results, no poor results. In our study, there were no statistically significant relations of outcome with side of the tear, size of tear, cuff tear retraction, fatty degeneration of cuff muscles. In conclusion, arthroscopic double-row rotator cuff repair is an effective treatment, applicable to different tear morphology, size and degree of rotator cuff contracture.
