“… 39 , 40 Clinical outcomes for surgical repair of rotator cuff tears in pediatric patients have been reported to be excellent, but these studies have not independently reported outcomes for open and arthroscopic repair. 41 , 42 Only one study included in this review, Eisner et al., 26 evaluated clinical outcomes of partial-thickness rotator cuff tears treated with arthroscopic repair but did not obtain preoperative scores and was thus unable to quantify the clinical benefit of arthroscopic repair. Arthroscopy for obstetric brachial plexus birth palsy resulted in improved Mallet, glenoid retroversion, PHHA glenoid deformity score, and external rotation after surgery consistent with previous systematic reviews.…”
