All of the patients were recreational or regional tournament golfers. Fifteen had open acromioplasty and rotator cuff repair and 16 had arthroscopic acromioplasty and mini\u2010open repair. The average age at surgery was 60 years (range, 39 to 76 years). At surgery, most were moderate size tears (2 to 6 cm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      At average follow\u2010up of 37 months (range, 24 to 60 months), all but 3 patients are currently golfing.
