Abstract:
Multiple alternatives to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty exist for the management of massive rotator cuff tears. Surgeons should understand the current indications for and outcomes of alternatives to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for the management of massive rotator cuff tears. Successful rotator cuff repair involves two major challenges: the creation of forceful mechanical integrity of the repair and the creation of a biologic environment that enhances tissue healing. Given the latest advancements in grafts and biologic enhancement, arthroscopic repair appears to be an effective and reasonable alternative for the management of massive rotator cuff tears.

Null and Alternative Hypotheses
The null hypothesis, denoted by H0 is a statement of no difference between the variables—they are not related. This can often be considered the status quo. As a result if you cannot accept the null, it requires some action.
