Tear Size and Stiffness Are Important Predictors of Retear [PDF]
JBJS Open Access, 2022 Background:. This study aimed to identify whether early postoperative shoulder stiffness is associated with improved healing following rotator cuff repair, and if so, how this factor might interact with other factors known to affect rotator cuff repair ...

Relationship of Posterior Decentering of the Humeral Head with Tear Size and Fatty Degeneration in Rotator Cuff Tear [PDF]
Clinics in Shoulder and Elbow, 2019 Background Posterior decentering is not an uncommon finding on rotator cuff tear patients’ shoulder magnetic resonance imaging. No previous study has reported on the relationship between posterior decentering and rotator cuff tear.

Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Tear Size Reduction in Partial-Thickness Tear of the Supraspinatus Tendon Compared to Corticosteroids Injection [PDF]
Sports Medicine - Open, 2023 Objectives Corticosteroid (CS) injection is commonly used in partial-thickness rotator cuff tears to decrease pain. However, this could result in unwanted side effects, such as tendon rupture.

Anteroposterior and Lateral Coverage of the Acromion: Prediction of the Rotator Cuff Tear and Tear Size. [PDF]
Clin Orthop Surg, 2022 The aim of this study was to assess whether the anteroposterior coverage of the acromion reflecting acromial morphology affects the rotator cuff tear (RCT) and tear size, in addition to the lateral coverage.Medical records of 356 patients with RCTs, concentric osteoarthritis, and calcific tendinitis identified using three-dimensional computed ...

The Effect of Time Interval from MRI to Rotator Cuff Repair on Tear Size: Imaged vs. Actual Tear Size [PDF]
Orthop J Sports Med, 2019 Objectives: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the advanced imaging modality of choice for the evaluation and diagnosis of full thickness rotator cuff tears (RCT). Tear size progression has been correlated with increasing pain. However, there is little data on tear size progression in symptomatic RCT with regard to time from MRI to actual rotator cuff

Increasing age and tear size reduce rotator cuff repair healing rate at 1 year: Data from a large randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Acta Orthopaedica, 2017 Background and purpose — There is a need to understand the reasons why a high proportion of rotator cuff repairs fail to heal. Using data from a large randomized clinical trial, we evaluated age and tear size as risk factors for failure of rotator cuff ...

Associations between range of motion, strength, tear size, patient-reported outcomes, and glenohumeral kinematics in individuals with symptomatic isolated supraspinatus tears. [PDF]
J Shoulder Elbow Surg, 2022 Clinical failure associated with nonoperative treatment of rotator cuff tears may be due to inadequate characterization of the individual's functional impairments. Clinically, restricted passive range of motion (ROM) (restrictions imply capsular tightness), limitations in muscle strength, and larger rotator cuff tears are hypothesized to be related to ...
