Comparison of retear risk between early & delayed active ROM following rotator cuff repair .
This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Does Early Versus Delayed Active Range of Motion Affect Rotator Cuff Healing After Surgical Repair? A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Am J Sports Med. 2016 Mar;44(3):785-9137 studies (n=2251 repairs) investigating either early or delayed initiation of active range of motion exercises in patients who had undergone rotator cuff repairs were included in this meta-analysis. As postoperative rehabilitation has been suggested to influence the structural integrity of the repair, the present analysis was conducted in order to determine if retear rates were affected by the timing of active ROM initiation. Early initiation of active range of motion exercises displayed a higher risk of retear when tears were 3cm or less and repaired with transosseous and single-row suture anchor techniques, 3cm or greater overall and among those repaired with a double-row suture bridge technique, or 5cm or greater and repaired with a double-row suture bridge technique.
