Why the study?
Does effective glycemic control reduce the risk of retears after rotator cuff repair in patients with diabetes mellitus?
Does effective glycemic control reduce the risk of retears after rotator cuff repair in patients with diabetes mellitus?
Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of retears after rotator cuff repair, which may be mitigated by effective glycemic control.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support glycemic optimization before rotator cuff repair in diabetes; leaves open causality pending prospective trials.
This meta-analysis suggests that diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of retears after rotator cuff repair, and improved blood glucose control may reduce the risk of retears in patients with diabetes mellitus. Although effective glycemic control was associated with a decreased risk of retears in patients with diabetes, we could not prove causation because of potential bias and confounding in the included studies.
