A comparison of full arthroscopic and arthroscopic-assisted mini-open repair methods in rotator cuff tears 1-3?cm in size.


ABSTRACT: Introduction:Retrospective evaluation of rotator cuff repair with arthroscopic or arthroscopic-assisted mini-open methods for a diagnosis of non-retracted rotator cuff tear. Materials and methods:A total of 45 patients underwent rotator cuff repair; Group 1 (n?=?24) with arthroscopic-assisted mini-open method and Group 2 (n?=?21) with full arthroscopic method. Results:Within both Group 1 and Group 2, a statistically significant results is p?=?0.001. The patients of Group 2 were seen to return to daily life earlier than those of Group 1 (p?=?0.001). Conclusions:Patients where full arthroscopic repair was applied, there was evidence of an earlier return to daily life. Level of evidence:IV, retrospective comparative study.
