Postoperative clinical outcome scores were generally good to excellent following arthroscopic remplissage. No studies indicated a significant loss of shoulder motion following the procedure. The failure rate following Hill-Sachs remplissage compared favorably with previously published rates for patients without clinically important Hill-Sachs lesions who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair alone. The overall complication rate across the studies was low, further supporting the use of this technique along with Bankart repair in the treatment of glenohumeral instability with a concurrent osseous defect of the humeral head.

The presence of a retear negatively affected the clinical outcomes following rotator cuff repair. This finding refutes the widely held concept that patients typically do well regardless of the repair integrity following rotator cuff repair. In patients with a retear, nonanatomic factors including younger age, lower education level, and a Workers' Compensation claim were associated with poorer outcomes.
