Background: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) is one of the most commonly performed
orthopaedic procedures; however, it is unclear how to manage patients with symptomatic …

Purpose A few studies have focused on factors predisposing to retear after arthroscopic
revision rotator cuff repair (ARRCR). This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate (1) the …

Background The optimal management for massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs) without
osteoarthritis (OA) remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and …

Background Large to massive rotator cuff tears (RCTs) affect shoulder functions profoundly
with unmanageable disability without intervention. The retear rates with arthroscopic rotator …

Background: The incidence of rotator cuff tears is rapidly increasing, and operative
techniques for rotator cuff repair have been developed. However, the rates of postoperative …

Background: The addition of onlay biological grafts to augment difficult rotator cuff repairs
has shown encouraging results in a case series. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this …

Background: In patients with hyperlipidemia, the risk of retear increases after rotator cuff
repair (RCR). In particular, it has been reported that preoperative low-density lipoprotein …

Purpose To explore the potential of growth hormone–releasing peptide 2 (GHRP-2) for
tendon-bone healing in a rat rotator cuff tear (RCT) model. Methods The impact of GHRP-2 …

Background The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes and retear rate of
arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) with dermal allograft following structural …

Objectives The primary aim of this current study is to evaluate the effects of rotator cuff tear
morphology on clinical outcomes in large to massive tears, using a modified version of the …
