Core Tip The causes of rotator cuff tears are multifactorial. It is believed that degeneration is essential, and most tears are slow and progressive. In contrast, acute tears can occur after trauma. Acute tears generally have better functional and pain outcomes compared with chronic injuries. The aim of this study is to compare shoulder functional outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair of traumatic and non-traumatic tears. Outcomes will be evaluated using the modified University of California, Los Angeles score and muscle strength measurements.
