Patients who underwent isolated subacromial balloon spacer implantation for massive irreparable rotator cuff tears demonstrated a high rate of clinically significant improvement in outcomes at short- to mid-term follow-up. A paucity of literature exists to appropriately define and evaluate the rates of achieving the PASS and SCB after subacromial balloon spacer implantation, necessitating further study.
