Table 1. Patient Demographic Information.
The symbol used for each patient in the Figures is listed in the Demarcation column (square ■, diamond ◆, down triangle ▼, up triangle ▲, star ★, circle ●). The classification used for each patient is listed in the column labeled Class (NT no tear, PT partial thickness tear, FT full thickness tear). The sex (M male, F female), age at surgery (years), and body mass index (BMI m2/kg) are also provided in similarly labeled columns. SS (supraspinatus) and IS (infraspinatus) tears are classified in SS Class and IS Class columns (0 = no tear, 1 = partial thickness tear, 2 = full thickness tear). Finally, surgical notes on the health and shoulder status of each patient are provided in the column labeled Notes.
