Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Few studies are considering acute traumatic rotator cuff tears in previously asymptomatic patients. The purpose of the current study was to investigate if delay of surgery, age at repair and the number of cuff tendons involved affected the structural and clinical outcomes.
