Surgery for full-thickness rotator-cuff tears

RJ Hawkins, GW Misamore and PE Hobeika

We reviewed the cases of 100 patients who were operated on for a tear of the rotator cuff and found significant improvements in pain in all of them and in function in the majority of patients. The size of the cuff tear did not significantly affect the results, although patients with a smaller tear tended to fare slightly better.
