Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: (1) arthroscopic repair of a full-thickness rotator cuff tear, (2) availability of pre- and post-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the involved shoulder, and (3) a minimum follow-up of two years.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: (1) an irreparable rotator cuff tear (2) a partial rotator cuff repair (3) cuff tear arthropathy on preoperative plain radiographs and at arthroscopy (4) stage 3- or 4 fatty infiltration of multiple rotator cuff muscles on T1-weighted MRI scans (5) a failed prior rotator cuff repair (6) a workers compensation claim

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Clinical Assessment Pre- and postoperative clinical assessment consisted of a structured interview, a detailed physical examination, and evaluation using University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores. The scores obtained before- and 3-, 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-months after the operation and at the latest follow-up were recorded.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Range of motion of the shoulder joint The structural integrity of the repaired rotator cuff was evaluated on MRI scans.	—
