Abstract
BACKGROUND: Rotator cuff tear is most troublesome issue in shoulder surgery. Retear is seen in arthroscopically repaired rotator cuff tear. PURPOSE: The functional outcome and retear rate in primary full thickness rotator cuff tear operated by single and double row repair technique. METHODS: 56 cases with full thickness tear of rotator cuff operated by single or double (28 each) were studied. Retear rate is evaluated after at least 6 months after surgery. RESULTS: There was a statistical difference in retear rate between double row and single row repair (p value <0.01). CONCLUSION: Retear rate is low in double row repair technique.
