The prevalence of the complete tear among general population is estimated approximately around 20.7% and it is more usual with the increasing of the age. The aim of this study is to evaluate a group of patients with any size of full-thickness cuff tear treated by arthroscopic technique, comparing the clinical and functional recovery (isokinetic, isotonic and isometric strength) with the un-operated side. Between October 2009 and June 2011, 74 patients, mean age 59 (20-72) years old, underwent arthroscopic treatment for rotator cuff tear. Forty-two patients were finally included in the study, 20 men and 22 women, mean age of 55 (20-68) years old. The mean follow-up was 12months (6-23months). The strength of each patient's shoulder, both operated and un-operated, was evaluated using isokinetic, isotonic and isometric tests (BIODEX Medical System). The functional outcome showed no significant differences between operated and un-operated shoulder, confirmed by Constant-Murley score and DASH score. The isokinetic, isotonic and isometric tests are valid support to clinical evaluation in order to obtain an objective data on shoulder recovery.
