Massive Rotator Cuff Tears Clinical Trial
Official title:
Do Concomitant Subscapularis Tears in Large to Massive Rotator Cuff Tears
Do concomitant subscapularis tears in large to massive rotator cuff tears affect
postoperative functional and structural outcomes?
Background and purpose:
The subscarpularis tendon is essential force maintaining normal glenohumeral biomechanics.
However, there are few studies which have addressed the outcomes of tears extending to the
subscapularis tendon in massive rotator cuff tears. The purpose of this study was to assess
the clinical and structural outcomes of arthroscopic reapair of massive rotator cuff tears
involving the subscapulrais.

Primary | Visual analogue scale | The visual analogue scale or visual analog scale (VAS) is a psychometric response scale which can be used in questionnaires. It is a measurement instrument for subjective characteristics or attitudes that cannot be directly measured. When responding to a VAS item, respondents specify their level of agreement to a statement by indicating a position along a continuous line between two end-points. | 4weeks | |
