Abstract

Rotator cuff tear is most troublesome issue in shoulder surgery. Retear is seen in arthroscopically repaired rotator cuff tear. The functional outcome and retear rate in primary full thickness rotator cuff tear operated by single and double row repair technique. 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. There was a statistical difference in retear rate between double row and single row repair (p value <0.01). Retear rate is low in double row repair technique.
