Sixty patients received arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with acromioplasty (group I), and another sixty received the same procedure without acromioplasty (group II). The mean age at surgery was 57.8 \u00b1 9.3 years in group I and 55.8 \u00b1 8.0 years in group II. The shape of the acromion was flat in 18 patients, curved in 32, and hooked in 10 in group I, and it was flat in 15 patients, curved in 36, and hooked in 9 in group II. The mean tear size was similar in the two groups (14.6 \u00b1 5.2 mm in group I and 15.3 \u00b1 7.0 mm in group II). Pain and satisfaction were estimated and range of motion was measured at a mean of 35 months after surgery. Functional outcomes were assessed with American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons: Constant; and University of California, Los Angeles scores. Tendon healing was evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Clinical outcome was significantly improved in both groups after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .05).
