Search for: [Abstract = "Rotator cuff \(RC\) injuries are the most common cause of pain and movement impairment of the shoulder. The aim of arthroscopic treatment is to achieve strong and durable junction between bone and tendon while allowing both structures to heal. Single row implantation technique is simpler, faster and requires less artificial material. Some believe that using fewer sutures with excellent results of repair is a great advantage of this technique. Double row technique is more challenging, however can produce RC junction similar to anatomical. Physiological movements of shoulder postoperatively are fully restored which was confirmed by biomechanical studies. Unfortunately double row technique requires more artificial material to build up junction and for some it is disadvantage of technique. It will also lead to increased cost of operation. The main aim of study was to compare arthroscopic treatment of shoulder with single or double technique and answer the following questions\: What was most common type of injury to RC treated with minimal invasive technique\? What were results of RC injury treatment when using two different techniques\? What was recovery time when using two different techniques\? Is age a risk factor for patients treated with two different techniques\? From 2005 to 2007 184 patients \(mean age 58±9.3, range 27\-79\) underwent arthroscopic reconstruction of injured RC.
