Introduction The superior articular capsule complements the rotator cuff's function in
shoulder stability. With irreparable rotator cuff tears, superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) …

OBJECTIVE. This study aimed to find independent prognostic factors related to retear of the
rotator cuff tendon in patients with repaired full-thickness supraspinatus tendon tear by …

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of irreparable rotator cuff tears
(RCT) treated with an arthroscopic partial repair, as well as the preoperative factors that may …

Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness of arthroscopic debridement (DB), partial (PR), and
complete repair (CR) for massive rotator cuff tears (mRCT) in terms of functional and …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to analyse the natural course of symptomatic full-
thickness and partial-thickness rotator cuff tears treated non-operatively and to identify risk …

Background: Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS), minimal clinically important
difference (MCID), and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) have rarely been assessed after …

Background Tears of the rotator cuff are one of the most common tendon disorders.
Treatment often includes surgical repair, but the rate of failure to gain or maintain healing …

Purpose To evaluate the clinical characteristics of patients with symptomatic failed rotator
cuff repair who required revision surgeries and to identify clinical and radiologic factors …

Background: Fatty degeneration of the rotator cuff muscles is associated not only with
postoperative retear but also with postoperative muscle weakness; therefore, fatty changes …

Background: Selective cyclooxygenase (COX)–2 inhibitors are commonly used analgesics
that provide similar analgesia as that of other analgesics but with fewer adverse effects …
