Massive rotator cuff tears: geometric classification, complete repair, and prognosis

Massive rotator cuff tears: geometric classification, complete repair, and prognosis

Background: This study aims to summarize tear patterns of massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs) and outline our surgical techniques for complete repair. Methods: From January 2018 to May 2023, 394 shoulders in 389 individuals with consecutive MRCT received arthroscopic MRCT repair. The tear pattern of...
