Synopsis
44 patients scheduled for a rotator cuff repair (RCR) were randomized to receive standard or plasma radiofrequency (RF) ablation for the clearance of soft tissue and preparation for RCR. The outcomes of interest included intra-operative temperature, the number of ports, temperature time, diathermy time, pump pressure, and the incidence of articular chondrolysis. Follow up was performed intra-opera...
