Clinical Outcomes of Revision Arthroscopic Capsulolabral Repair for Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Instability With Moderate Glenoid Bone Defects: A Comparison With Primary Surgery.

Background: The optimal revision surgery for failed primary arthroscopic capsulolabral repair (ACR) has yet to be determined. Revision ACR has shown promising results.

Purpose: To compare the functional, strength, and radiological outcomes of revision ACR and primary ACR for anterior shoulder instability.

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging assessment of the infraspinatus and teres minor in massive rotator cuff tear and its significance in clinical outcome after rotator cuff repair.

Background: Teres minor (TM) muscle hypertrophy in large to massive rotator cuff tears (RCTs) has been considered a compensatory change to atrophy of the infraspinatus (ISP). However, few reports have assessed its relation to the prognosis after rotator cuff repair.

Methods: A total of 139 patients who underwent arthroscopic repair of large to massive RCTs involving the ISP between January 2013 and December 2015 were retrospectively investigated.

Effects of Anxiety and Depression Measured via the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale on Early Pain and Range of Motion After Rotator Cuff Repair.

Background: Preoperative anxiety and depression are independent predictors of clinical outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. However, few studies have evaluated correlations between outcomes such as pain and range of motion (ROM) after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and preoperative anxiety and depression.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of preoperative anxiety and depression, measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), on early pain and ROM after rotator cuff repair.

The effect of postoperatively applied far-infrared radiation on pain and tendon-to-bone healing after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: a clinical prospective randomized comparative study.

Background: The effects of far-infrared radiation (FIR) on the treatment of rotator cuff diseases remains unknown. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of FIR after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with regard to postoperative pain and healing.

Methods: This prospective randomized comparative study included 38 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair due to a medium-sized tear.
