Popis: INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the functional and radiological results of double-row arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs performed by the Knotted Suture Bridging method. METHODS: The study included 36 patients. Before surgery, tear type, tear size, and muscle atrophy were examined by ultrasound (USG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in all patients. In the clinical evaluation, the preoperative and postoperative 2nd year results of the patients were compared by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), scoring the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the shoulder index scoring of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES). Sugaya MRI recovery analysis was used to evaluate the structural healing of the tendon. RESULTS: A significant decrease was found in the patients' VAS scores in the postoperative period. While the preoperative UCLA (0-35) score was 19.1, the median value in the second postoperative year was 29.7. (p
