BACKGROUND Double-row arthroscopic rotator cuff repair has become more popular, and some studies have shown better footprint coverage and improved biomechanics of the repair. HYPOTHESIS Double-row rotator cuff repair leads to superior cuff integrity and early clinical results compared with single-row repair. STUDY DESIGN Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1. METHODS Forty pat...

CONTEXT Double-row rotator cuff repair methods have improved biomechanical performance when compared with single-row repairs. OBJECTIVE To review clinical outcomes of single-row versus double-row rotator cuff repair with the hypothesis that double-row rotator cuff repair will result in better clinical and radiographic outcomes. DATA SOURCES Published literature from January 1980 to April 20...

Cadaveric studies and commercial pressure have initiated a strong trend towards double-row repair in arthroscopic cuff surgery. The objective of this study was to evaluate if the biomechanical advantages of a double-row supraspinatus tendon repair would result in superior clinical outcome and higher abduction strength. A retrospective study of two groups of 32 single-row and 33 double-row repai...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of all available level I randomized controlled trials comparing single-row with double-row repair to statistically compare clinical outcomes and imaging-diagnosed re-tear rates. METHODS A literature search was undertaken to identify all level I randomized controlled trials comparing structural or clinica...

conclusion the designed split-bolus mdct technique can be proposed alternatively to triphasic mdct and in a single-pass to pvp in the initial staging and in the follow-up respectively in oncologic patients. patients and methods we retrospectively analyzed the follow-up split-bolus 64-detector row ct protocol in 36 oncologic patients to characterize focal liver lesions. the split-bolus mdct prot...

The effects of irrigation and planting pattern on wheat in field conducted at Taian, northern China during 2011-12. The experiments consisted of two planting patterns (single and double rows) and two irrigation levels (0 and 180 mm) resulting in the same plant density (200 × 10 plant/ha). Each experiment plot was 3 m × 3 m in size and replicated thrice in split-plot design. During course of stu...

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional outcome and the tendon healing after arthroscopic double row rotator cuff repair of large and massive rotator cuff tears. Methods. 82 patients with a full-thickness large and massive rotator cuff tear underwent arthroscopic repair with double row technique. Results were evaluated by use of the UCLA, ASES, and Constant questionnai...
