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.
