Arthroscopic procedures for degenerative rotator cuff disease: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Treatment of rotator cuff diseases often involves various arthroscopic procedures but their combined effectiveness remains contentious, especially in complex cases.

Methods

We focused on patients with degenerative shoulder cuff diseases requiring arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Searches covered multiple databases (Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Cochrane Clinical Answers) up to April 1, 2024. Bias risk was assessed using RevMan (v 5.4), and a network meta-analysis was conducted with netmeta (v 2.8).

Result

From 16 studies, 1232 patients (average age, 56.2 years; balanced sex ratio) were included. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair ranked highest in functional score
