To the Editor, We would like to thank Dr. Narvani for his interest in our study and for correctly pointing out an error in the Discussion section of our study [1]. We set out to determine whether tear size progression (increase or decrease) affects the clinical outcome and the strength of patients with nonhealed rotator cuff tendons after repair. We concluded that patients with decreased tear size showed improved shoulder function andmuscle strength than thosewith an increased tear. Therefore, the sentence quoted in the letter indeed was inaccurate as it appeared in our paper, and should have been: “Patients without healing of the repaired rotator cuff tendon with a decrease in the size of their tear, as measured at 6 months after surgery, experienced better shoulder function and muscle strength from those with increased tear size when followed beyond 6 months.” We appreciate Dr. Narvani for his careful attention, and we apologize for our error.
