“…In our study, we found that 90% of the results were satisfactory, among which 58% were excellent and 32% were good, according to the UCLA functional scale. This satisfaction index was similar to what was found in the literature (1,7,8,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26) . Although our results were similar to what was found in the literature, two of the four cases that suffered renewed tearing of the supraspinatus (as shown by magnetic resonance imaging) presented unsatisfactory functional results, with complaints of pain and dissatisfaction with the results.…”

“…Integrity of the repair leads to better function, mobility and strength, in comparison with cases that present renewed tearing of the tendon of the supraspinatus muscle (8,11) . The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and functional results from arthroscopic repairs to small and medium-sized injuries to the tendon of the supraspinatus muscle, with a minimum follow-up of two years.…”

“…Although it has been reported in the literature that these injuries are common among patients over the age of 60 years, such patients are in many cases asymptomatic (3,6) . Surgical treatment for rotator cuff injuries is indicated if conservative treatment fails (3,7,8) . Arthroscopic repair of the injury is one of the possibilities and, with the evolution of this technique, it is becoming increasingly popular (1,3,9) .…”

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes from arthroscopic repairs on small and medium-sized tears of the supraspinatus muscle tendon. Methods: 129 cases of isolated small and medium tears of the supraspinatus muscle tendon were evaluated retrospectively. The average duration of pain was 29 months. The average joint range of motion comprised active elevation of 136º, lateral rotation of 58º and medial rotation at T12 level; and the preoperative functional UCLA score averaged 17 points. In all the cases, complete repair could be achieved. Results: The average score on the UCLA functional scale in the postoperative period was 32 points. The average length of follow-up was 39 months. Seventy-five cases (58%) had excellent results and 42 (32%) had good results. The average final active elevation was 156º

“…Previous studies [15,25,35,36] have reported a shoulder assessment score greater than 80% after ARCR was a ''good'' or ''excellent'' clinical outcome; therefore, we regarded 80% in each component as a standard value for functional recovery. Our data suggest one can expect that patients who are 59 years or younger before surgery can achieve good functional recovery within 6 months of undergoing ARCR, and patients with smaller tears and without stiffness may recover within 3 months.…”

“…ARCR is now a well-established surgical technique, and some studies [17,30] have reported functional recovery and tendon healing in patients undergoing ARCR for rotator cuff injuries. Although several studies have reported restoration of shoulder function using the Constant-Murley [9], UCLA [11], and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) [18] at followup periods of 2 to 14 years [20,35,36], the time required for functional recovery after surgery was reported in only one study [7].…”

Background Several studies have reported functional recovery of the shoulder after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Preoperative estimation of the time required for functional recovery is important for determining surgical indications and for planning timing of the surgery and an appropriate postoperative physical therapy. Questions/purposes We therefore asked: (1) how long it takes to obtain functional recovery after ARCR, and (2) what preoperative factors influence functional recovery time. Patients and Methods We retrospectively evaluated 201 patients who had undergone ARCR. Using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) shoulder scoring system, we defined the functional recovery period as the time required to achieve a score greater than 80% in each component. We evaluated the functional recovery periods and assessed preoperative influencing factors such as age, gender, shoulder stiffness, morphologic features of rotator cuff tears, and rotator cuff tear size. Results Sixty-three patients (31%) took less than 3 months, 81 patients (40%) took between 3 and 6 months, and 57 patients (28%) took greater than 6 months to achieve a score greater than 80% in each JOA shoulder assessment component. Younger patients without shoulder stiffness and with smaller rotator cuff tears had shorter functional recovery periods. Conclusions One hundred forty-four patients (72%) obtained functional recovery within 6 months after ARCR. Age, shoulder stiffness, and rotator cuff tear size influenced functional recovery time.
