Surgical management for massive rotator cuff tears: a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Based on the available data from the included studies, similar surgical efficacies were observed among the reported intervention measures for mRCTs. The patch augmentation technique was found to potentially achieve better short-term surgical outcomes, which is consistent with previous reports. However, the best surgical interventions for achieving long-term surgical effects remain unknown. More high-quality research is needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of these interventions and to guide clinical practice.
