Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair, Manipulation Under Anesthesia, and Capsular Release for Concurrent Rotator Cuff Tear and Adhesive Capsulitis Maintain Improvements in Outcomes and Range of Motion at Minimum 5-Year Follow-Up.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To characterize the outcomes and range of motion at a minimum 5-year follow-up in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) with simultaneous manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) and capsular release (CR) for concurrent RC and adhesive capsulitis and to compare active range of motion of the operative and nonoperative shoulder.

Methods

Patients undergoing ARCR with MUA and CR by a single surgeon were retrospectively reviewed and prospectively evaluated at a minimum of 5 years postoperatively. Standardized surveys, examinations, and patient-reported outcomes were recorded pre- and postoperatively. Outcome measures included range of motion, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon Score (ASES), visual analog score (VAS) for pain, Simple Shoulder Test (SST),
