Background: With an increase in the treatment options available for massive rotator cuff tears, understanding the long-term outcomes of the chosen modality is important.
Questions/purpose: The purpose of this study was to systematically review the available literature on repair of massive rotator cuff repairs and learn the longevity of outcomes, the failure rate, outcomes after failure, and any contributing factors to poor outcomes or failure.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review of the MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase databases to find studies that investigated the long-term results of repair of massive rotator cuff repairs.
Introduction: Femoral neck fractures in the elderly are increasingly common as a result of a growing geriatric population with 1-year mortality rates approaching 35%. While preoperative medical optimization and early time to surgery have reduced morbidity and mortality, patients with numerous medical comorbidities remain high risk for death in the perioperative period. Identifying those with greatest risk with a scoring system or nomogram may assist multidisciplinary teams in reducing mortality following hemiarthroplasty.

Methods: We performed a systematic review according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines that included studies from 1975 to 2018 with a minimum 2-year mean follow-up that reported return-to-sport rates or sports-specific patient-reported outcomes. Outcomes, reoperations, and complications were provided in table format, and a subjective analysis was performed.
