When a complete repair cannot be accomplished, a significant partial repair may be possible.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Hypothesis: A partial repair will yield comparable outcomes to complete repair of massive rotator cuff tears in this specific patient population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    Methods: All consecutive arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs done at the authors\u2019 institution over a 2-year period were identified. A retrospective chart review was performed. Inclusion criteria required that each patient have a massive rotator cuff tear (30 cm\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    or greater). Patients were categorized as either partial or complete repair. The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder scores were used to measure patient outcomes at an average follow-up of 24 months (10-40 months).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    Results: Of 1128 consecutive arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs, 97 (9%) patients were noted intraoperatively to have massive tears measuring 30 cm\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    or greater. Complete repair was achieved in 52 patients, whereas partial repair was possible in 45 patients. Eleven patients were lost to follow-up. The 41 remaining patients with only partial repair achieved a postoperative mean UCLA score of 29.49, and the 45 patients with complete repair achieved a mean UCLA score of 29.64, yielding significant improvement in both the partial repair group ( P = .0001) and the complete repair group ( P = .0001) compared with preoperative UCLA scores. However, no statistically significant differences in postoperative outcomes were noted when the 2 groups were compared with one another ( P = .89).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion: Partial repair of massive rotator cuff tears yielded outcomes comparable with complete repair of massive tears.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546512438763","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,14]],"date-time":"2012-03-14T01:00:32Z","timestamp":1331686832000},"page":"1022-1026","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":152,"title":["Comparison of Partial Versus Complete Arthroscopic Repair of Massive Rotator Cuff Tears"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Nicholas D.","family":"Iagulli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center, Jackson, Mississippi"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Larry D.","family":"Field","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center, Jackson, Mississippi"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"E.
