Do nonarthroplasty surgical treatment options improve clinical outcomes in patients with massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears?
Multiple nonarthroplasty surgical techniques offer promising clinical improvements for massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears, though high-quality randomized trials are needed to guide specific indications.
Carver et al. (2018) conducted a review in Massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears. Nonarthroplasty surgical treatments was evaluated on Clinical outcomes. Various nonarthroplasty surgical techniques, including arthroscopic debridement, partial repair, and tendon transfers, improve clinical outcomes for massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears.
