Of this group, 59 patients (59 shoulders) were available for follow\u2010up. Preoperative and postoperative function were assessed by means of a modified UCLA scoring system. Tears were categorized according to size (greatest diameter, number of tendons involved, and pattern of tear [crescent shape\n                      <jats:italic>v<\/jats:italic>\n                      U\u2010shape]). Crescent\u2010shaped tears were repaired in a direct tendon\u2010to\u2010bone fashion and U\u2010shaped tears were repaired by a margin\u2010convergence technique.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Good and excellent results were achieved in 95% of the cases, regardless of tear size. The large and massive tears did as well as the small and medium\u2010sized tears. That is, results were independent of tear size (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &gt;.05). Results of tears repaired by margin convergence were not significantly different statistically from those repaired by direct tendon\u2010to\u2010bone repair (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &gt;.05), validating the selection criteria of U\u2010shaped tears for repair by margin convergence. There is a rapid return to full overhead function after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (average, 4 months for each tear size). Delay from injury to surgery, even of several years, did not adversely affect surgical outcome.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>(1) Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair can achieve good and excellent results in a large percentage of patients (95% in this series). (2) Results of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair are independent of tear size. (3) U\u2010shaped tears repaired by margin convergence have results comparable to those of crescent\u2010shaped tears repaired directly by a tendon\u2010to\u2010bone technique. (4) There is a rapid return to full overhead function after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (average, 4 months for all tear sizes). (5) A delay from injury to diagnosis, even of several years, is not a contraindication to arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.<\/jats:p>\n
