Post-Operative Stiffness Risk Factors

  • Small tear size / single tendon repair

  • Worker's compensation

  • Age < 50

  • PASTA lesion repair

  • Calcific tendinitis

  • Adhesive capsulitis

  • Concomitant labral repair
Possible genetic risk factors:

  • Presence of SNP within IL-6

  • Presence of SNP within MMP3

Adapted from Huberty et al.62

PASTA=partial articular supraspinatus tendon avulsion; SNP=single nucleotide polymorphism; IL-6=interleukin 6 gene; MMP3=matrix metalloproteinase 3
