Abstract
Based on robust numbers and strict methods to reduce selection bias, systematic review shows that single-row rotator cuff repair results in a higher rate of retear at 1 year than does double-row or transosseous equivalent techniques. It makes some sense to speculate that retear could diminish long-term clinical outcome. However, when combining all tear sizes, the statistical differences in single-row retear rates appear graphically less significant.
