Summary

This study aims to compare the functional results of patients who underwent two different arthroscopic methods for the management of articular-sided partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PT-RCTs). The present study aims to compare the functional results following the repair of PT-RCTs using the conversion versus the trastendon techniques

Detailed description

This is a prospective randomized study carried out at a tertiary trauma center between October 2022 and June 2023. The research ethical Committee authorized this study protocol \[(Institutional Review Board (IRB) number: N-383-2023)\], and all participants signed an informed consent prior to joining the study. This study included 50 patients with PT-RCTs who underwent arthroscopic repair using either the conversion technique (25 patients) in group A or the transtendon technique (25 patients) in group B. The random assignment of all patients to enter either group was computerized using simple randomization.
