Background: Few studies have evaluated the clinical results of surgical treatment of rotator cuff tears in young patients and most of the publications are only case series and with a small number of evaluated individuals. The aim of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair according to age at the time of the procedure.
Hypothesis: Patients with 50 years of age or younger undergoing surgical treatment of rotator cuff tear have similar clinical outcomes to older patients.
