Long-term outcomes of rotator cuff repair surgery
From Rotator Cuff Repair to Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty - Clinical and Radiological Results
This study looks at how well rotator cuff repair surgery works over ten years for people who had the surgery, checking their shoulder function and any need for further surgery.

What this trial studies
This observational study will follow 733 participants who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair at Lovisenberg Diaconal Hospital between 2010 and 2014, assessing their clinical and radiological outcomes ten years post-surgery. Participants will provide validated patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) and undergo x-ray evaluations to determine the presence of cuff arthropathy and re-tears. The study aims to identify factors influencing long-term functional outcomes and the need for shoulder replacement surgery as a measure of surgical success or failure.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals who had arthroscopic rotator cuff repair at Lovisenberg Diaconal Hospital between 2010 and 2014 and can participate in follow-up assessments.
Not a fit: Patients who are unable to consent, cannot complete PROMs, or are unwilling to participate will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term effectiveness of rotator cuff repair and inform better treatment strategies for patients with shoulder pain.
How similar studies have performed: While there is a lack of extensive long-term studies on this topic, previous research has indicated the importance of follow-up assessments in understanding surgical outcomes, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
