Description
Delamination of cuff tendons has a negative impact on outcomes following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR). The purpose of this study is to compare en masse repair (EMR) and separate double layer repair (SDLR) for delaminated rotator cuff tears. The evidence suggests that the SDLR in arthroscopic RCR for delaminated rotator cuff tears leads to improved short-term functional outcomes and range of motion compared to EMR. However, there is no significant difference in retear risk between the two approaches.
