Abstract
Rotator cuff tear size has an important effect on clinical outcomes after repair. Management options for massive rotator cuff tears are numerous, and selection of the most appropriate treatment method for individual patients can be a challenge. An understanding of the pathomechanics, treatment, and clinical outcomes in patients with massive rotator cuff tears can serve as a guide for clinical decision-making. The purpose of this article was to review treatment options and clinical outcomes for the management of massive rotator cuff tears.Entities:
