Suprascapular Nerve Release in Patients Undergoing Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair .
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.
Outcomes of Arthroscopic Nerve Release in Patients Treated for Large or Massive Rotator Cuff Tears and Associated Suprascapular Neuropathy: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blinded Clinical Trial.
Am J Sports Med . 2021 Jul;49(9):2301-2308.Forty two patients with large or massive reparable rotator cuff tears (RTC) and suprascapular nerve neuropathy were randomized to undergo arthroscopic RTC repair with suprascapular nerve release (n=21) or RTC repair alone (n=21). The primary outcome of interest was full suprascapular nerve recovery measured through electrophysiologic changes. Secondary outcomes of interest were functional outcomes and RTC composition postoperatively. There was no difference in the proportion of patients who had full suprascapular nerve recovery at 6 or 12 months postoperatively. Similarly there were no differences between groups in functional outcome scores or the composition of the RTC at final follow-up.
