Editorial Commentary: Identifying Risk Factors May Lower Retear Rates After Rotator Cuff Repair

Arthroscopy. 2016 Nov;32(11):2201-2202. doi: 10.1016/j.arthro.2016.08.005.

Abstract

Rotator cuff healing rates remain unpredictable. Predicting remnant cuff tear tissue quality remains elusive. The role of the subscapularis in combined tears remains of paramount importance for recognition and fixation.
