Assessment of Functional Outcome Following Mini Open Transosseus Rotator Cuff Repair for Complete Rotator Cuff Tears of the Shoulder

Abstract

Background: The mini-open surgical approach for rotator cuff repair is most appropriate for small to medium-sized tears encompassing one tendon tear of the supraspinatus or two tendon tears of the supraspinatus and the upper half of the infraspinatus. The purpose of this study was to assess the functional outcome of mini-open transosseous rotator cuff repair for complete rotator cuff tear of the shoulder.
