Arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears is a well described technique with good clinical results. The purpose of this work was to use the arthro-CT-scan to evaluate tendon healing after arthroscopic repair and search for epidemiological, anatomic and technical factors predictive of tendon healing....
