Brief Summary  

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) has evolved into one of the most common orthopedic surgical procedures worldwide. Suture anchors are one of the most important devices in rotator cuff arthroscopic repair, their design and composition continues to improve, and different surgical acts can be associated to glean the final result. VIPLOK PEEK Knotless Screw/Wedge anchors (PEEK Tip) and VIPLOK PLDLA and B TCP Knotless Screw or wedge (PEEK Tip) are intended for soft tissue fixation to the bone. In current study we plan to evaluate and compare efficacy of both devices via change in ASES, Constant Murley shoulder outcome scores, Penn-Shoulder Score, SANE score, SST score and quick DASH score. Duration of surgery, RCT repair failure assessment and time to recovery will also be done as a part of efficacy assessment. Efficacy and safety of both devices will also be compared. Clinical data collected through this study will be of great benefit to the research field and potentially will be beneficial to the society.
