Long-term outcome after arthroscopic rotator cuff treatment

Abstract

Review of level II, III and IV studies, Level IV.

Advantages of Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair With a Transosseous Suture Technique: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

“…As reported by Spennacchio et al 46 , arthroscopic rotator cuff repair ensures good long-term results, with clinical outcomes often being better than radiological results. This study confirms that surgical rotator cuff repair leads to performance enhancement, evidenced by pain reduction and improvements in Constant and QuickDASH scores.…”

“…Over the years, there has been a Arthroscopic repair surgery is a valid therapeutic approach, which can provide good clinical results and a low level of complications. 46 Different arthroscopic repair techniques have been developed in the last 20 years. Single-row, double-row, and transosseous equivalent are arthroscopic techniques, based on implantable devices, which provide good clinical outcomes.…”

Tendon-Derived Stem Cells for Rotator Cuff Repair

“…However, an overall high re-tear rate remains [5][6][7]. Although patients with failed RC repairs can experience outcomes comparable with those after successful repairs, sometimes additional therapies or reinterventions are required [8,9]. Several biological strategies have been investigated to enhance tendon healing after arthroscopic repair, in order to improve the repair site microenvironment, promote activation of cells and signaling pathways involved in the natural healing response and prevent the formation of scar tissue.…”

The Effect of Rotator Cuff Repair on the Clinical and Psychological Meaningful Improvement in Patients with Rotator Cuff Tear and Insomnia.

“…With the development of health care, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair has become the "golden standard" for the treatment of rotator cuff tear, which had the advantage of slight injury and few complications [2]. It can make the function of shoulder and persistent pain better [3][4][5][6].…”
