Background: Rotator cuff repair typically results in a satisfactory, although variable, clinical outcome. However, anatomic failure of the repaired tendon often occurs. Hypothesis: Patch augmentation can improve the results of open rotator cuff repair by supporting the healing process, protecting the suture, and reducing friction in the subacromial space. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 152 patients with a posterosuperior massive rotator cuff tear were treated by open repair only (control group; n = 51; mean age, 67.06 \ub1 4.42 years), open repair together with collagen patch augmentation (collagen group; n = 49; mean age, 66.53 \ub1 5.17 years), or open repair together with polypropylene patch augment...
