Key result
Strict glucose management allows rotator cuff repair and superior capsular reconstruction in patients with diabetes to achieve success rates similar to patients without diabetes.
Why the study?
Does strict glucose management improve outcomes in patients with diabetes undergoing rotator cuff repair or superior capsular reconstruction?
Does strict glucose management improve outcomes in patients with diabetes undergoing rotator cuff repair or superior capsular reconstruction?
Strict glucose management in diabetic patients undergoing rotator cuff procedures yields success rates comparable to non-diabetic patients.
Diabetes has been reported to be a significant risk factor for rotator cuff repair, both for increased complication rates and poor cuff integrity at final follow-up. Similar results might be expected for superior capsular reconstruction; however, strict glucose management, as with rotator cuff repair, is shown to allow these rotator cuff procedures to proceed with success rates similar to patients without diabetes.

Stephen C. Weber (2024) conducted an editorial in Diabetes requiring rotator cuff repair or superior capsular reconstruction. Strict glucose management vs. Patients without diabetes was evaluated on Success rates, complication rates, and cuff integrity. Strict glucose management allows rotator cuff repair and superior capsular reconstruction in patients with diabetes to achieve success rates similar to patients without diabetes.
