A Godenèche, F Elia, JF Kempf, C Nich… - Journal of shoulder and …, 2017 - Elsevier
Background Fatty infiltration (FI) compromises outcomes of rotator cuff repairs. Most
clinicians consider FI of the infraspinatus, whether it is torn or intact, because it is most
rapidly affected. The purpose of this study was to report long-term outcomes of isolated
supraspinatus repairs and to determine their associations with FI of the infraspinatus and
supraspinatus. Methods The records of 182 patients who underwent repair of isolated
supraspinatus tears and had preoperative magnetic resonance imaging were retrieved. Of …
