Patient-Determined Outcomes After Arthroscopic Margin Convergence Rotator Cuff Repair.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To determine whether patients who require margin convergence would have equivalent postsurgical patient-determined scores compared with patients with standard rotator cuff repair. The secondary purpose of this study was to determine whether the short-term results found for patients with margin convergence repairs would be durable through medium-term follow-up.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair was performed to examine the effects of marginal convergence on patient-determined outcomes (Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Simple Shoulder Test, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation, and Shoulder Activity Level). Patient-determined outcomes in patients who had margin converg
