Clinical differences between patients with early and late revision surgery for symptomatic failed arthroscopic rotator cuff repair

Purpose Time ranges of revision rotator cuff surgeries after arthroscopic repair are highly variable. However, the cause and clinical relevance of the different timings of revision surgeries have not been analyzed.

Description
Summary:Purpose Time ranges of revision rotator cuff surgeries after arthroscopic repair are highly variable. However, the cause and clinical relevance of the different timings of revision surgeries have not been analyzed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical manifestations of patients who required revision surgeries at early and late periods after failed arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, and to identify clinical and radiological differences related to the timing of revision surgery. Methods Sixty patients who underwent revision surgery due to symptomatic failed rotator cuff repair after arthroscopic repair were included. Patients were divided into two groups: patients who underwent revision surgeries within 1 year postoperatively (21 patients, group I) and patients who underwent revision surgeries more than 1 year postoperatively (39 patients, group II). Clinical and radiological characteristics were compared between the two groups before primary and revision surgery. Results VAS for pain (5.9 ± 1.9 in group I, 3.9 ± 1.4 in group II, P
