The aim of the study is to document the clinical-radiological results from the case series of patients surgically treated for rotator cuff lesions from 2009 to 2020 at the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute Shoulder-Elbow Department.
110 patients surgically treated for rotator cuff lesions from 2009 to 2020 will be included in a retrospective-prospective and interventional study with clinical and radiological evaluation at follow-up of at least 12 months.

| Evaluation of clinical and radiographic findings after surgical treatment for cuff rotator lesion | Experimental | Evaluation of the clinical-radiological results from the case series of patients surgically treated for cuff rotator lesions from 2009 to 2020 at the Shoulder-Elbow Department . At 12 months the result is considered stabilized, so we will proceed to collect all case histories that have passed this follow-up period. |

| Constant score | The constant score is the most commonly used questionnaire for evaluating treatment outcomes of shoulder disorders. It's the scoring system recommended by the European Society of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (SECEC / ESSE). It has the advantages of including pain score, functional assessment, range of motion, and strength measures. A high score corresponds to a great quality of function | At least 12 months after cuff rotator lesion surgery |

| Visual Analog Scale (VAS): | Analogue scale represented by a line of 10 cm length, ranging from "absence of pain" to "the worst imaginable pain " | At least 12 months after cuff rotator lesion surgery |
| Simple Shoulder Test (SST) |

SST test consists of 12 questions about physical functioning with dichotomous response options (yes or no). Scores range from 0 (worst) to 100 (best) and are reported as the percentage of items answered in the affirmative by the patient

| Short Form-12 (SF-12): | SF-12 serves as a generic indicator of quality of life and assesses the individual's subjective perception of health, understood as biopsychosocial well-being. Through 12 of the 36 questions of the original questionnaire, the SF-12 investigates 8 different aspects related to health status: physical activity, role limitations due to physical health, emotional state, physical pain, perception of general health status, vitality, social activities and mental health; the synthesis of the total scores allows to build two synthetic indices, a physical health index (PCS-12) and a mental health index (MCS-12). The lower the score of the two indices, indicatively below 20 points, the greater the level of disability. | At least 12 months after cuff rotator lesion surgery |
| Treatment opinion post- surgery | Patient satisfaction with their post-surgery recovery status will be assessed. | At least 12 months after cuff rotator lesion surgery |
