Abstract Background: Rotator cuff tear with delamination is considered as a risk factor for postoperative retear after rotator cuff repair. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes between 3 repair procedures for large or massive rotator cuff tears with delamination: conventional en masse suture bridge (EMSB), double-layer suture bridge (DLSB), and combination of double-layer suture bridge and modified Debyere-Patte (DLSB+DP) methods.Methods: A total of 53 shoulders of 52 patients who had large or massive rotator cuff tears with delamination were included. The patients were categorized into 3 groups: EMSB group comprised 18 patients, DLSB group comprised 24 shoulders of 23 patients, and DLSB+DP group comprised 11 patients. DP was applied for cases in which the rotator cuff was unable to be covered up to the footprint even though it was sufficiently mobilized. The mean postoperative follow-up period was 34.6 months (range, 24-72 months). Pre- and postoperative evaluations included the Constant scores and range of motion (ROM). Tendon integrity according to Sugaya classification, and fatty degeneration were also evaluated by magnetic resonance images (MRI).Results: The ROM significantly improved after the operation in all groups. Mean constant scores significantly improved (from 45.5±14.3 to 77.4±13.6, in the EMSB, from 45.5±11.6 to 87.6±11.4 in the DLSB, and from 46.3±11.2 to , and 88.0±10.5 in the DLSB+DP). Significant differences were noted in the postoperative Constant score (p<0.05: DLSB vs. EMSB , and p<0.05: DLSB+DP vs. EMSB). The Constant pain score was better in the DLSB+DP than in the EMSB group. The mean pre-operative global fatty degeneration index was 1.52 in the EMSB group, 1.80 in the DLSB group, and 2.28 in the DLSB+DP group. Retear occurred in 27.8% in the EMSB group, 12.5% in the DLSB group, and 9.1% in the DLSB+DP group. Conclusions: Comparison of 3 groups demonstrated that DLSB and DLSB+DP achieved better clinical outcome than EMSB. DLSB+DP is useful for large or massive rotator cuff tears with severe fatty degeneration or for cases where presence of excessive tension is anticipated when repairing the torn cuff.
