Greater tuberosity bone mineral density and rotator cuff tear size are independent factors associated with cutting-through in arthroscopic suture-bridge rotator cuff repair

To evaluate the correlation between cutting-through at the greater tuberosity (GT) in arthroscopic suture-bridge rotator cuff repair and the bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine, hip and ipsilateral GT of the proximal humerus and to evaluate factors and clinical outcomes related to cutting-through.
