Factors associated with the development of early- to mid-term cuff-tear arthropathy following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair

Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Oct 10, 2020

Misir A, Uzun E, Kizkapan TB, et al. - This research was sought to distinguish the factors correlated with the development of cuff tear arthropathy, to assess the impact of arthropathy on functional outcomes, and to assess the incidence of cuff-tear arthropathy 3 to 10 years after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Researchers retrospectively divided a sum of 312 patients who had undergone arthroscopic repair of a large or massive full-thickness rotator cuff tear with a minimum follow-up of 3 years into 2 groups for analysis: those with post-repair cuff tear arthropathy (CTA) (arthritic glenohumeral changes due to rotator cuff insufficiency) and those without. This study's findings demonstrate that postoperative development of pseudoparalysis may be a marker of CTA in the future and that closer follow-up may be necessary.
