Will Preoperative Atrophy and Fatty Degeneration of the Shoulder Muscles Improve after Rotator Cuff Repair in Patients with Massive Rotator Cuff Tears?

<table>Suture anchors were placed on the medial site of the “footprint” (a) A bone trough was made approximately 1 cm proximal to the greater tuberosity until the cancellous bone was exposed. Threads from the anchors were pulled out to the lateral cortex and tied without tying on the tendon (b).</table>
