Passive shoulder abduction range of motion at 3 months postoperatively is the most important prognostic factor for achieving full recovery of range of motion at 6 months after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

ABSTRACT:

Background

After arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR), it is crucial for clinicians to predict the functional recovery in the early postoperative period for considering rehabilitation strategies. The aim of this study was to identify the prognostic factors in the early postoperative period for achieving full recovery of range of motion (ROM) at 6 months after ARCR.

Methods

This study included 184 patients who underwent ARCR. Patients were divided into the full recovery and nonrecovery groups using the Constant ROM score at 6 months postoperatively. The area under the curve for predicting the full recovery group was calculated for all independent variables such as demographic data, ROM, shoulder functional scores at preoperative and 3 months postoperative using receiver op
