Inclusion Criteria

Patients older than 50 years who are indicated to undergo repair of a moderately sized rotator cuff (infraspinatus and/or supraspinatus) tendon rupture (sized smaller than 3cm measured using an arthroscopic ruler), who are encountered with an inflamed, unstable or partially torn LHB tendon.
Patients need to be able to read and write in Dutch or English language in order to complete the questionnaires, and sign informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

Patients are excluded form this study in case of an acute, traumatic or partial thickness rotator cuff rupture, or in case a full thickness tear is larger than 3 cm measured using an arthroscopic ruler. (This excludes patients who have a massive rotator cuff rupture, since these patients are more likely to have a re-rupture within one year).
