AAOS 2022: Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff With or Without Acromioplasty for Full Thickness Tears .
Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair with and without Acromioplasty in the Treatment of FullThickness Rotator Cuff Tears: Long-Term Follow Up of a Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial
86 patients randomized to receive arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with acromioplasty (n=25/41 completed follow up) or without acromioplasty (n=31/45 completed follow up) were re-assessed from a multicentered, randomized controlled trial. Outcomes of interest included the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff score (WORC) and incidence of re-operation/revision. Mean follow up was 11 years post-operation. No significant differences were observed between the two groups in WORC scores, however, the rate of re-operation was significantly higher in the group that did not receive acromioplasty.
