Nakamura Y, et al. - Researchers gauged the important factors that impact the clinical outcomes following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). A postoperative VAS of < 5 points at 2 months and postoperative elevation of ≥ 110° at 3 months should be achieved in order to obtain a JOA score of ≥ 83 points at 24 months postoperatively, following ARCR. Significant factors were VAS at 2 months postoperatively and elevation at 3 months postoperatively; as seen on multivariate and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses.
