| Superior repair group | Anterior repair group | Combined repair group | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sex (n), male:female | 58:7 | 106:25 | 52:6 | .1 |
| Age at surgery, mean (range) | 37 (18-57) | 26 (12-55) | 30 (18-52) | <.05∗ |
| Time from symptom onset to surgery (mo), mean ± SEM (range) | 27 ± 6 (1-259) | 43 ± 5 (0-354) | 40 ± 7 (0-299) | .2 |
| Affected shoulder left:right (n) | 25:40 | 68:61 | 23:35 | .1 |
| Follow-up (yr), mean ± SEM (range) | 4 ± 0.3 (2-11) | 4 ± 0.2 (2-11) | 4 ± 0.3 (2-7) | .97 |
| Work related (%) | 48 | 14 | 26 | <.05† |
SEM, standard error of the mean.
∗
Patient age was statistically different between each group (P < .05).
†
Isolated superior labral repair patients were more likely to have work-related injuries than anterior labral repair or combined anterior and superior labral repair patients (P < .05).
