Inclusion Criteria: * Included patients will have a repairable, full thickness rotator cuff tear limited to the supraspinatus and infraspinatus, confirmed by MRI. Patients with concomitant biceps tenotomy, tenodesis, arthroscopic subacromial decompression, and distal clavicle excision will be included. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with prior operations on the shoulder, partial thickness tears, subscapularis tears or labral tears requiring repair, irreparable supraspinatus tears, staged bilateral rotator cuff repairs, or concomitant suprascapular nerve decompression will be excluded. We will also exclude patients with co-morbid conditions requiring the use of corticosteroids. Patients who cannot have an MRI for medical reasons will also be excluded.
