Retrospective study comparing magnetic resonance imaging evidence of healing of the rotator cuff with the clinical outcome following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair at 12-month postoperation
Abstract
Objectives: To assess the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evidence of Rotator Cuff healing 1 year post-repair and correlate it with the respective clinical outcome. Materials and Methods: Fifteen patients of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were followed up regularly by clinical examination, QuickDASH score, and MRI (1 year post-operation). MRI evidence of rotator cuff healing was compared with the QuickDASH scores. Healing of the rotator cable (the weight-bearing component of the rotator cuff) was assessed and correlated with clinical outcome. Results: Of the total 15 patients, 13 had good clinical outcomes (QuickDASH score of 15–20) and
