Predictors of outcomes after arthroscopic transosseous equivalent rotator cuff repair in 155 cases: A propensity score weighted analysis of knotted and knotless self-reinforcing repair techniques at a minimum of 2 years

Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery Sep 21, 2017

Millett PJ, et al. - This study entails an assessment of the outcomes of two commonly used transosseous-equivalent (TOE) arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) techniques for full-thickness supraspinatus tendon tears (FTST) using a robust multi-predictor model. Following arthroscopic knotted suture bridging (KSB) or knotless tape bridging (KTB) TOE RCR of FTST, excellent outcomes could be achieved at a minimum of 2 years. Furthermore, the outcome scores were significantly impacted by preoperative baseline outcome score, a prior RCR, workers’ compensation claims (WCC) and the length of follow-up. Although final functional outcomes remained unaffected by the repair technique, occurrence a full-thickness rotator cuff re-tear was less likely in patients with KTB TOE RCR.
