title: [Functional outcome of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Functional outcome after rotator cuff reconstruction is influenced by several factors of which re-rupture is probably the most important.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The aim of the study was to evaluate the postoperative outcome including re-rupture rate after arthroscopic rotator cuff reconstruction.
  
  
  METHODS
  23 shoulders of 22 patients were examined prospectively. Physical examination, ultrasound and radiography were performed. Quality of life and functional outcome were evaluated using Constant Score and Visual Analog Scale.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Excellent or good results were found in 80% of the patients. The Constant Score has increased from 45 to 79, and the level of pain decreased from 6.6 to 2.5. Full-thickness rotator cuff tear was absent, but partial tear occurred in 7 cases (30%). Average acromiohumeral distance in the operated side was 8.5 mm compared to 9.5 mm measured on the contralateral shoulder.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a safe and reliable procedure that provides good results.
