Abstract
Clinical reports on synthetic matrices for rotator cuff tears (RCTs) have varied outcomes owing to limitations such as inconsistency in follow-up time, small sample sizes and lack of control groups. Standardized methods are crucial to optimize synthetic matrix applications and ensure consistent results in tendon repair.
