Evaluation of long-term postoperative outcomes between mini-open and arthroscopic repair for isolated supraspinatus tears: a retrospective analysis

ConclusionThis study suggests that isolated supraspinatus tears can be treated with a MO or arthroscopic repair procedure with similar clinical outcome in the long-term postoperative period. The mean surgery time and the average costs are less in the MO group respect to the AS group.
