Key result
Poor glycemic control in patients with diabetes during the first 3 to 6 months after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is associated with a lower healing rate.
Why the study?
Does stricter glycemic control improve healing rate in patients with diabetes undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair?
Does stricter glycemic control improve healing rate in patients with diabetes undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair?
Stricter glycemic control in the first 3 to 6 months after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in diabetic patients is a modifiable risk factor that may improve healing rates.
Retear rates after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair continue to be unacceptably high. Of the known risk factors for failure of rotator cuff repair, many are nonmodifiable. Poor glycemic control in patients with diabetes in the first 3 to 6 months after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is associated with a lower healing rate. This represents a modifiable risk factor that we should routinely address in patients postoperative rotator cuff repair.
