A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Arthroscopic Single- and Double-Row Rotator Cuff Repair Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Early Clinical Evaluation

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is becoming increasingly popular with a significant amount of research being per-formed evaluating techniques and outcomes. Most studies have used a single row of anchors for attaching the rotator cuff tendon to bone when doing the repair. With the recent emphasis on anatomy of the rotator cuff footprint, tech-niques attaching the rotator cuff tendon over more of its normal footprint have gained popularity. § In vitro studies have analyzed repair techniques using various combination
