Perioperative glycemic control reduces the risk of retear in diabetic patients following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: A meta-analysis.

Background: Previous studies have associated diabetes with reduced shoulder motion, increased pain, and higher postoperative retear risk after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). However, the impact of glycemic control, measured by hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, on retear and revision rates after ARCR in diabetic patients remains unclear.

Methods: This systematic review was conducted using the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase databases according to the preferred reporting conventions for systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

Delamination of rotator cuff tears impairs healing after repair: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes and retear rates after rotator cuff repair (RCR) between delaminated and non-delaminated tears.

Methods: This systematic review was conducted according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines using the PubMed, Cochrane Library, the Web of Science and Embase databases. Only articles on arthroscopic RCR with clinical outcome scores and data on the number of rotator cuff retears and complete healing were included.
