Relationship between cuff status after repair and improvement of HSS score in patients with TSA (**p = 0.006) and patients with HHR (*p = 0.704). Data are presented as mean HSS score with standard error of the mean. Significant decrease of the score over time for patients with TSA and a good repair of the rotator cuff (p = 0.003). Missing three shoulders with HHR
