For the single-row repair, average gap formation per 100 cycles in the positions of neutral, internal, and external humeral rotation was 1.47 ± 0.63, 3.11 ± 1.55, and 2.24 ± 0.94 mm, respectively. For the double-row repair, average gap formation per 100 cycles in the positions of neutral, internal, and external humeral rotation was 1.25 ± 0.54, 2.29 ± 1.10, and 1.57 ± 0.48 mm, respectively. For gapping averaged over all positions, the double-row repair had significantly less gapping than the single-row repair ( P = .0109); gapping was greatest for internal rotation, followed by external rotation, and least for neutral ( P < .0001).
