Key result
Double-row rotator cuff repair has not yet demonstrated a substantial improvement over single-row repair for structural healing or functional outcomes in existing clinical studies.
Why the study?
Does double-row rotator cuff repair improve structural healing or functional outcomes compared to single-row repair?
Does double-row rotator cuff repair improve structural healing or functional outcomes compared to single-row repair?
Despite biomechanical advantages, double-row rotator cuff repair has not yet shown definitive clinical superiority over single-row repair in structural healing or functional outcomes.

Does not support preferring double-row repair; leaves open whether larger RCTs will detect differences.
Dines et al. (2010) conducted a review in Rotator cuff tear. Double-row rotator cuff repair vs. Single-row rotator cuff repair was evaluated on Structural healing and functional outcomes. Double-row rotator cuff repair has not yet demonstrated a substantial improvement over single-row repair for structural healing or functional outcomes in existing clinical studies.
