[Comparison of 2 surgical techniques in isolated supraspinatus rupture. A matched-pair study].

The comparison of results after open surgery methods in the repair of rotator cuff ruptures needs homogen patient groups. We compared 34 patients in 2 groups who were treated with open surgery for isolated ruptures of the supraspinatus muscles (lesion type III). Patients in group I were treated with transosseous suture refixation of the supraspinatus, in group II suture anchors (type: Corkscrew) were used.
