Rotator Cuff Repair: No functional difference between single and double row fixation .
This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.

Dr. Peter Lapner expands on his study comparing single-row and double-row fixation for rotator cuff repairs
90 patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were randomised to either single-row or double-row suture techniques to compare differences in functional outcomes and healing rates. Results indicated that there were no significant differences in Western Ontario Rotator Cuff (WORC) Index, Constant Score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Score or strength between the two techniques at 2 years. However, based on multivariate regression analysis it was noted that the double-row technique and the incidence of smaller initial tears had higher healing rates following MRI assessment.
