Passive shoulder abduction range of motion at 3 months postoperatively is the most important prognostic factor for achieving full recovery of range of motion at 6 months after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair

After arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR), it is crucial for clinicians to predict the functional recovery in the early postoperative period for considering rehabilitation strategies. The aim of this study was to identify the prognostic factors in the early postoperative period for achieving full recovery of range of motion (ROM) at 6 months after ARCR.
