Search for: [Abstract = "was 99 male \(mean age, range\) and 85 females in the groups. Females were statistically significantly older. Patients were randomised to two groups. JR group\-single row technique DR group\-double row technique Results of surgery were assessed 3,6,12 months postoperatively. USG, Constatnt score, forward flexion range test, Job and Neer tests were used to evaluate results and recovery post surgery. Conclusions based on our results are\: Isolated, complete rupture of supraspinatus muscle tendon was the most common type of injury in both groups. Better results according to Constant test were observed in DR group. Better results were observed in patients with isolated injury to SNG than to SPG. There was twice less re\-injures confirmed by USG examination in DR group 12 months postoperatively. Better results 3 and 6 months postoperatively in DR group patients according to Constant score suggest less pain and wider range of arm’s movements. Similarly better range of arm flexion 12 months post surgery is suggesting faster recovery. Older patients \(>65 years old\) despite surgical technique used had worst results. Limited movements of arm and pain were still present 12 months postoperatively however improvement to preoperative status was still satisfactory according to Constant score."]
