Previous studies on rotator cuff tears have examined both clinical and radiographic parameters which may influence post-operative clinical outcomes. While rotator cuff tears are frequently classified by size or depth, there is currently no literature available examining the thickness of the remnant tendon, and its impact on post-operative outcomes. We hypothesize that decreased pre-operative transverse tendon thickness will result in poorer post-operative clinical outcomes.
