Effects of Quality of Integrity on Clinical and Structural Outcomes of Rotator Cuff Repair: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 504 Cases.

This study established a correlation between improved structural integrity of the repaired cuff tendon and enhanced structural outcomes in rotator cuff muscles. Furthermore, the findings revealed that both FI and MA could be reversed in patients exhibiting high-quality structural integrity. However, these structural improvements were not mirrored in the clinical outcomes.
