Background Rotator cuff retear (RCR) is one of the main postoperative drawbacks. RCR can
be considered a multifactorial issue, which causes are related either to biological than …

Background An association between higher preoperative Goutallier stage and higher retear
rates following primary rotator cuff repairs has been previously reported. However, there are …

Background We wished to identify the preoperative prognostic factors associated with
structural integrity after repair of medium-sized and larger rotator cuff tears and to determine …

Background: Scoring systems integrating possible prognostic factors and predicting rotator
cuff healing after surgical repair could provide valuable information for clinical practice …

Background: No study to date has directly evaluated rotator cuff repair results among
smokers. Purpose: To evaluate whether smoking affects healing after arthroscopic rotator …

Purpose To evaluate the effect of critical shoulder angle (CSA), acromion index (AI), and
glenoid inclination (GI) on the postoperative healing rate after arthroscopic supraspinatus …

Background: Postoperative shoulder stiffness (POSS) is a prevalent adverse event after
arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) that is associated with major limitations in everyday …

Background: The number of systematic reviews and meta-analyses published on the rotator
cuff (RC) has increased markedly. Purpose: To quantify the number of systematic reviews …

Purpose To suggest a cutoff value of tension related to retear of a repaired chronically
contracted rotator cuff and to analyze the correlation between predictive factors and integrity …

Background: Limited knowledge exists regarding prognostic factors after rotator cuff repair.
Purpose: To identify pre-and perioperative predictors for functional outcomes after …
