Summary

The study will identify if there is a difference of quality of life after surgery between two techniques used in surgery. The two different techniques are either the Single Row Fixation or the Double Row Fixation.

Detailed description

Primary Research Question; What is the difference in disease specific quality of life between patients who undergo a repair of the rotator cuff with arthroscopic technique using single-row fixation, versus double-row fixation, as measured by the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC)at one year post op?

Conditions

• Rotator Cuff Tear

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	single row	This method involves using a single row of anchor(s) to reattach the cuff to the bone.
PROCEDURE	double row fixation	This technique, "double row" fixation, involves adding an extra anchor(s) over the number used for single row fixation. This extra anchor(s) is placed further inside the bone and may help to increase the fixation strength of the repair.
