Fifty\u2010four patients (84.3%) were available for follow\u2010up (average, 27 months); 54 shoulders were evaluated using the UCLA rating scale (0\u201335 points). Tears were categorized according to size. The pattern of tears determined the repair technique: crescent\u2010shaped tears were repaired in a direct tendon\u2010to\u2010bone fashion and U\u2010shaped tears by margin convergence with or without suture anchor.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean of postoperative UCLA score improved from 10.4 (range, 8.2\u201320 points) to 30.5 (range, 21\u201335 points) (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .0001). Sixteen patients (29.6%) had excellent results (34\u201335 points), 28 (51.8%) had good results (28\u201333 points), 10 (18.5%) had fair results (21\u201327 points), and none had poor results. There were no statistical differences between postoperative UCLA score and groups by age (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .53), suture technique (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .06), and tear size (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .5). The correlation between technique of repair, age, and postoperative score has not shown statistical differences between margin convergence with or without suture anchor and direct tendon\u2010to\u2010bone repair with suture anchor in the 61\u2010 to 65\u2010year\u2010old patients. Patients older than 65 years achieved the best results with margin convergence by side\u2010to\u2010side suture.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in the elderly achieves satisfactory results in a large percentage of cases regardless of the patient's age, tear size, and type of suture repair. These results are comparable to those of traditional open repair.
