Results after revision arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: A prospective multi- center analysis
Arthroscopy Jan 29, 2021
Hackl M, et al. - This study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical and radiological results following revision arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RARCR). Researchers included a total of 100 patients who had undergone RARCR in this multi-center study of ten European shoulder centers. They examined tendon integrity by MRI at two years using the Sugaya classification. 13 patients (13%) were lost to follow-up. Re-tears are frequently observed at a mid-term follow-up, while RARCR leads to an improved clinical outcome. Individuals with re-tears, nevertheless, do not necessarily have poorer shoulder function than those with healed tendons. The results demonstrated that patient satisfaction was lower when the primary surgery was conducted by an open technique, when a correlated lesion of the subscapularis was present and when the rotator cuff re-tear was located at the musculotendinous junction.
