Abstract
When the meta-analysis studies comparing single-row (SR) and double-row (DR) repair methods in the literature are examined, the SR method is unsuccessful in re-tears especially in large and massive tears. In this study, I was able to determine that, except for Barber's work, double-loaded anchors were used for the SR repair. Particularly, low tension of the repaired muscle-tendon unit is important in terms of repairable massive retracted cuff tears. For this reason, medially placed triple-loaded anchors were developed. Again, the SR ripstop method using suture tape, in terms of re-tears and success rates, is similar to the double-row suture bridge method. Based on current systemic review and meta-analysis studies, it is not appropriate to adapt SR and DR rotator cuff repair results to today's conditions.Keywords: Double row; Ripstop; Rotator cuff; Single row
