Background: Although interest in studies evaluating the outcomes of rotator cuff repair is steadily increasing, the results and tendon integrity after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in elderly patients have only been minimally investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes and repair integrity in patients over 65 years of age who underwent arthroscopic repair of full-thickness rotator cuff tears. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with the following inclusion criteria: (1) elective shoulder arthroscopy for rotator cuff repair for full-thickness posterosuperior tears; (2) age over 65 years at surgery; and (3) participation in 24 months of follow-up. Preoperatively, the range of motion (ROM) and the Constant-Murley Score (CMS) and at follow-up, the ROM, the 12-Item Short Form Survey, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, and the CMS were evaluated; an ultrasonographic assessment of tendon integrity was performed according to the adapted Sugaya classification. Results: The final sample consisted of 110 patients with an average age of 69.2 ± 3.5 years. The mean duration of nonoperative management before surgery was 2.6 ± 0.8 months. The mean period of preoperative physical therapy was 0.6 ± 0.9 months. ROM and CMS showed statistically significant improvement (all P |
