Abstract

The article focuses on multivariate and univariate analysis performed on 108 patients to determine the scope of arthographic treatments for massive rotator cuff injuries. The study found that although healing in most patients failed post operative findings showed that functionality of the shoulder was retained. Computed tomography arthogrpahy and ultrasonography images were used as evaluation tools.
