Patients were categorized into patients &lt;55 years of age and patients 55 and older. Patient\u2010related outcome measures of disability at 2 years following surgery were the Short Western Ontario Rotator Cuff (Short WORC), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon's (ASES) assessment form, and absolute Constant\u2013Murley score (ACMS).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Review of the database between 2001 and 2011 identified 344 patients (median age 62, range 24\u201390). Of these, 83 (24 %) patients were younger than 55 years of age (median age 48, range 24\u201354) and 261 (76 %) were in the older age group (median age 66, range 55\u201390). The median follow\u2010up was 24\u00a0months (range 23\u201325). Patients in the younger age group had a higher prevalence of traumatic events (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.02), had sustained more work\u2010related injuries (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.0001), and had a higher ratio of smaller tears (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.0001). No difference was seen between groups with respect to post\u2010operative scores of Short WORC, ASES, or ACMS. Pre\u2010operative scores, having a work\u2010related claim, increased tear size, and concomitant procedures affected the 2\u2010year outcome
