Eighteen randomized controlled trials were identified. The retear rates, functional scores, range of motion, and operative times were analyzed. A subgroup analysis was conducted based on the tear size (30\u2009mm).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Eighteen studies involving 1308 patients were included. The DR group had better University of California Los Angeles score (standardized mean difference [SMD]\u2009=\u2009\u22120.28; 95% confidence intervals (CI), \u22120.44, \u22120.12; I2\u2009=\u20097%), enhanced forward flexion (standardized mean difference\u2009=\u2009\u22120.38; 95% CI, \u22120.58, \u22120.19; I2\u2009=\u200926%), and a lower overall (OR\u2009=\u20091.88; 95% CI, 1.33, 2.66; I2\u2009=\u200927%) and partial\u2010thickness (OR\u2009=\u20092.81; 95% CI, 1.50, 5.24; I2\u2009=\u20093%) retear rate than the SR group. Conversely, the SR group exhibited a reduced operation time (standardized mean difference\u2009=\u2009\u22120.74; 95% CI, \u22121.04, \u22120.43; I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      \u2009=\u200940%). For tears &gt;30\u2009mm, DR repair was superior to SR repair in American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, University of California Los Angeles score, and retear rates.

For tears \u226530\u2009mm, the use of DR repair consistently yielded superior functional and radiological outcomes. However, for tears &lt;30\u2009mm, studies have shown that SR and DR repairs have comparable clinical results and retear rates. This suggests that DR repair is more recommended than SR repair for large tears, but the more efficient SR repair is a suitable option for tears ranging from small to medium in size.<\/jats:p>\n
