Correlation between retear after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and stiffness of the shoulder.


ABSTRACT: Background:The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between retear after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and passive range of motion of the shoulder. Methods:Passive range of motion before and after surgery was compared between the two groups. Results:The healed and retear groups comprised 86.4% and 13.6% shoulders, respectively. Passive external rotation with the arm at the side at 3 months postoperatively was significantly smaller in the healed group than retear group. Conclusions:This difference seemed to be associated with stiffness in external rotation of the shoulder and the process of cuff healing after surgery. Level of evidence:Level III, Case-Control Study, Treatment Study.
