Abstract
Rotator cuff (RC) tears represent the vast majority of shoulder injuries in adult patients and are a common contributing factor to shoulder pain and occupational disability, and their prevalence in the population is rising. Although surgical procedures to repair have evolved and improved over the past decades, a high rate of failure, which may require additional therapy or re-intervention, thus decreasing the patient’s quality of life, has been observed after RC repair.
