Patients with concomitant tendon transfer, nonfascia lata grafts, or incomplete follow\u2010up were excluded. The patients were divided into 2 groups (graft intact or graft retear group) according to the Sugaya classification of MRI. MRI was performed at 1\u2009week, 6\u2009months, and 1, 2, and 5\u2009years postoperatively to assess changes in graft thickness and HHM. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the visual analog scale, Constant score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, forward elevation, and external rotation, both preoperatively and at the same postoperative intervals. MRA was performed in patients with persistent symptoms despite an intact\u2010appearing graft on conventional MRI to further assess graft integrity and validate MRI findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 58 patients were included in this study, of whom 33 were categorized into the graft retear group and 25 into the graft intact group. In the graft intact group, the graft thickness at the humeral attachment, midsubstance, and glenoid attachment progressively decreased over time, with a significant reduction observed at 5\u2009years compared with 1\u2009week postoperatively. HHM significantly increased beginning at 1\u2009year and continued to rise through the 5\u2010year follow\u2010up. Linear mixed\u2010effects analysis showed a significant association between greater graft thickness and better outcomes in the visual analog scale (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009\u22120.45), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20093.48), forward elevation (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20096.06), and external rotation (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20093.07).
