Editorial Commentary: Doc, Is It All in My Head? With Rotator Cuff Tears, It Partially Is!

Abstract: Psychosocial factors including anxiety, depression, and poor mental health negatively influence the baseline clinical expression of rotator cuff tearing. The same factors may influence clinical outcomes after rotator cuff repair surgery. Counseling patients preoperatively about postoperative expectations of rotator cuff repair surgery has a substantial positive impact on postoperative functional outcomes. As surgeons, we need to take the time to not just be technicians but counsel our patients and consider the… Show more

“… 27 It is vitally important that a patient’s psychosocial health is taken into account when deciding to proceed with surgery and in managing patient expectations for postoperative healing and functional return. 12 , 25 Interestingly, we did find that PM was independently predictive of a decreased risk of persistent pain postoperatively. Presumably these patients were actively being treated for DA which may have resulted in a somewhat protective effect for this specific complication; this supports the recommendations in the literature that patients with DA should not be discouraged from surgical intervention for RCR but may benefit from additional mental health support or treatment during the perioperative period.…”

“…1 The effect of comorbid depression and anxiety on a variety of orthopaedic surgical procedures is increasingly recognized, particularly in common procedures such as rotator cuff repair (RCR). 2,3 Patients with mental health comorbidities may have poorer outcomes and a more challenging postoperative course after RCR. 4 However, a full understanding of mental health's effect on outcomes of RCR remains an area of ongoing and much-needed scientific research.…”
