However, full\u2010thickness RCT are uncommon in patients younger than 40 years, and few reports document results after repair in this population. The purpose of this study is to retrospectively report results of arthroscopic repair of full\u2010thickness RCT in patients younger than 40 years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty\u2010three consecutive patients younger than 40 years with full\u2010thickness RCT underwent arthroscopic repair with suture anchors. Mean age was 37 years (range, 21 to 39). The mean size of RCT was 2.4 cm in the largest dimension (range, 1 to 4 cm). The mean number of anchors used was 2.5 (range, 1 to 4). Concomitant procedures included subacromial decompression (22), distal clavicle resection (13), SLAP repair (2), biceps tenodesis (2), anterior capsulorraphy (1), and capsular releases (1), and were performed at the discretion of the surgeon. Twenty\u2010two patients (95%) recalled a single incipient trauma; two patients sustained a dislocation. Ten patients (43%) claimed Workers\u2019 Compensation (WC). Minimum follow\u2010up was 24 months, and mean follow\u2010up was 26 months (range, 24 to 29).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Mean preoperative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon's (ASES) self\u2010report score was 42 (range, 22 to 60); the mean postoperative score was 92 (range, 65 to 100;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .01). Twenty\u2010one patients (90%) returned to their previous level of activity and employment, including 9 (90%) with WC claims. All patients (100%) reported diminished pain, and 22 (95%) reported improvement with activities of daily living. Complications included superficial wound infection (1) and axillary nerve palsy after initial dislocation (1). Given the choice, 22 patients (95%) would have same procedure again.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Excellent outcomes were observed following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair both with and without concomitant procedures in patients younger than 40 years. Full\u2010thickness RCT in patients younger than 40 years appeared to be traumatic in etiology. Successful repair returns patients to their pre\u2010injury level of function.
