Data were collected prospectively at baseline 1 to 2 weeks before surgery and at 3 and 6 months after surgery. Patients were identified from a prospectively created database based on the dimensions of the size of the tear as determined intraoperatively. Outcome was assessed via physical examination, visual analog scales (VASs), the Simple Shoulder Test, the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire, and the Short Form 36 (SF\u201036) Health Survey. Changes between baseline and follow\u2010up were compared.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      All demographic variables and preoperative baseline parameters of the 2 groups were equivalent. At 3 and 6 months, both MRCR and ARCR showed statistically significant improvement in all patient\u2010derived outcome parameters (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2264 .0001) except for three SF\u201036 variables.

In light of the purported advantages of ARCR that motivate its popularity, this is an unexpected finding. However, an equally important result of this study was the finding that ARCR was associated with statistically significant improvement in the 3\u2010month SF\u201036 bodily pain score and 6\u2010month VAS pain score (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .041 and .03, respectively).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Level III, retrospective therapeutic comparative study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2007.01.011","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,8]],"date-time":"2007-06-08T12:54:36Z","timestamp":1181307276000},"page":"573","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/elsevier_cm_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":78,"title":["Early Outcome of Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: A Matched Comparison With Mini\u2010Open Rotator Cuff Repair"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Lana","family":"Kang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics Brown University Medical School Providence Rhode Island U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.
