Brief summary
The investigators aimed to compare the results of acromioplasty + arthroscopic debridement and acromioplasty + augmentation with subacromial bursa.
Interventions
Two intervention was planned. Rotator cuff debridement + acromioplasty group is mentioned as Group A (18 patients) and augmentation with subacromial bursa + acromioplasty is Group B

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation of biological augmentation with bursa using postoperative clinical scores and MRI. | 18 months | Our Primary Outcome Measure is to investigate the effects of biological augmentation with subacromial bursa in arthroscopic bursal-sided partial thickness rotator cuff repair with postoperative MRI and functional scores with Constant-Murley and Ases scores. |
