Summary

The study will identify if there is a difference of quality of life after surgery between two techniques used in surgery. The two different techniques are either the Single Row Fixation or the Double Row Fixation.

Conditions

  • Rotator Cuff Tear

Interventions

PROCEDURE

single row

This method involves using a single row of anchor(s) to reattach the cuff to the bone.

PROCEDURE

double row fixation

This technique, "double row" fixation, involves adding an extra anchor(s) over the number used for single row fixation. This extra anchor(s) is placed further inside the bone and may help to increase the fixation strength of the repair.
