Clinical midterm results of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in patients older than 75 years
Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Aug 20, 2020
Plachel F, Siegert P, Rüttershoff K, et al. - In this study, the clinical midterm results after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) was explored in patients who were 75 years or older at the time of surgery. Researchers included a sum of 31 shoulders in 30 patients older than 75 years at the time of surgery who had undergone ARCR for a degenerative full-thickness rotator cuff tear (RCT) between 2010 and 2016. The data suggested that at midterm follow-up, ARCR for symptomatic RCTs without advanced muscle degeneration in patients older than 75 years at the time of surgery provided good clinical results and high patient satisfaction.
