OBJECTIVES: We critically review the existing studies comparing the features of single- and double-row repair, and discuss suggestions about the surgical indications for the two repair techniques. DATA SOURCES: All currently available studies comparing the biomechanical, clinical and the biological features of single and double row. MAIN RESULTS: Biomechanically, the double-row repair has greater performances in terms of higher initial fixation strength, greater footprint coverage, improved contact area and pressure, decreased gap formation, and higher load to failure...
