| Variables | SSP detachment (N = 37) | SSP and ISP detachment (N = 5) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intact or healed (%) | Retorn (%) | Torn (%) | Intact or healed (%) | Retorn (%) | Torn (%) | |
| Rotator cuff tendon | ||||||
| SSP | 33 (89.2) | 4 (10.8) | — | 4 (80) | 1 (20) | — |

SSP = supraspinatus tendon; ISP = infraspinatus tendon; SSC = subscapularis tendon.
