Clinical Efficacy of Tendon Repair Versus Debridement in Massive Rotator Cuff Tears: A Long-Term Study.

Abstract

Introduction: Massive rotator cuff tears significantly impair shoulder function and cause pain. 
While tendon repair is the standard treatment to preserve function and potentially prevent cuff
related osteoarthritis, long-term outcomes remain unclear. This study compared long-term 
clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction between tendon repair and debridement for massive 
rotator cuff tears.
