Full-thickness rotator cuff tears in the athlete generally occur from either high-energy contact or repetitive overhead activity. Surgical management of these injuries with a technique that maximizes footprint contact while providing a gap-resistant repair may enhance an optimal healing environment. The elite overhead athlete with a full-thickness tear has a relatively poor prognosis, and requires special consideration.
运动员的全层肩袖撕裂通常由高能接触或重复性过头活动引起。采用能使接触面积最大化同时提供抗间隙修复的技术对这些损伤进行手术治疗，可能会促进形成最佳的愈合环境。患有全层撕裂的精英过头运动运动员预后相对较差，需要特别关注。
