Background: Many studies have reported on the surgical outcomes of soft tissue sarcoma. However, there was no longitudinal cohort study. Because time is the most valuable factor for functional recovery, adjusting time value was the key for finding the causal relationship between other risk factors and postoperative function.

Background: Degenerative rotator cuff tears (RCTs) are generally thought to originate at the anterior margin of the supraspinatus tendon. However, a recent ultrasonography study suggested that they might originate more posteriorly than originally thought, perhaps even from the isolated infraspinatus (ISP) tendon, and propagate toward the anterior supraspinatus. Hypothesis/Purpose: It was hypothesized that this finding could be reproduced with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated outcomes of arthroscopic repair for isolated subscapularis tendon tears in 45 patients, looking at pain levels and shoulder function over time.
  • It found that while tendon integrity mostly remained stable post-surgery, age and gender significantly influenced clinical outcomes, with younger patients and men reporting better results.
  • Overall, the surgery showed high effectiveness and low rerupture rates, indicating a reliable option for treating these tendon injuries.
