No difference in functional outcome amid single and double-row rotator cuff repair methods .
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.
Does double-row rotator cuff repair improve functional outcome of patients compared with single-row technique? A systematic review
Am J Sports Med. 2012 May;40(5):1176-85. doi: 10.1177/0363546511428866. Epub 2011 Dec 8In this systematic review 7 studies (consisting of 446 participants) examining the functional outcome between single-row and double-row rotator cuff repair techniques were evaluated. Results displayed that, even though the double-row repairs seemed to result in a lower radiographic retear rate, the overall functional outcome of the two types of repair methods did not differ significantly from one another.
