Editorial Commentary: Overtensioning of Rotator Cuff Rear Repair Predisposes to Failure of Complete Healing

Overtension repair of rotator cuff tear may predispose to the failure of postoperative integrity of the rotator cuff tendon. Surgeons should consider the size of the rotator cuff tear and maintain adequate tension for successful rotator cuff repair. Feel the tension on the tendon: too much can poison the outcome.
