2022 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Increasing Shoulder Osteoarthritis Severity (SOAS) Score Predicts Lower PROMIS-UE Score Following Rotator Cuff Repair

Increasing Shoulder Osteoarthritis Severity (SOAS) Score Predicts Lower PROMIS-UE Score Following Rotator Cuff Repair

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video summary discusses a study that investigates the relationship between preoperative MRI-based shoulder joint scoring system and postoperative patient-reported outcomes after rotator cuff repair. The study hypothesized that higher preoperative scores would correlate with lower postoperative scores. The study included 77 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and had a mean follow-up of 43 months. The results showed a negative correlation between the preoperative scoring system and postoperative patient-reported outcomes, with cartilage degeneration being the strongest predictor. The study suggests that even lower levels of joint degeneration should be considered in treating rotator cuff tears. The study acknowledges some limitations and highlights the need for future research in this area.
