Introduction
-
1,
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) has been widely performed for rotator cuff tears, yielding highly favorable clinical outcomes. 26→24.
-
2,
Various factors have been reported to be associated with POSS, including age, sex, rotator cuff tear size, preoperative range of motion (ROM), rehabilitation protocols, and the presence of diabetes mellitus. 2-4,6,22,23,27→2-4,6,21,25.
-
3,
Adduction restriction has been reported to correlate with ROM loss in shoulders with rotator cuff tears. 28→26.
Materials and methods
Surgical procedure
-
1,
Then, the remaining sutures were tied to avoid excessive stress concentration on the medial-row sutures. 25→24.
-
2,
A suture-bridge technique was also utilized for the repair of concomitant subscapularis tears. 24→22.
Postoperative rehabilitation
-
1,
Light sports activities were permitted three months post-surgery, with a gradual return to full, unrestricted activities by six months, depending on the patient's functional recovery. 9,16,24-26→9,16,22-24.
Statistical analysis
-
1,
Propensity scores were estimated using a logistic regression model based on the following factors: age at surgery, sex, BMI, operative side, tear size, workers compensation, and preoperative ROM (passive forward elevation, and external rotation), and the presence of diabetes mellitus, which have been reported to be associated with POSS. 2-4,6,20,23,27→2-4,6,21,25.
Discussion
-
1,
Previous reports have demonstrated that adduction restriction in shoulders with rotator cuff tears is associated with ROM loss and that improvement in adduction restriction leads to restored ROM.12,28→12,26.
