Abstract
Rotator cuff tears are the most common cause of shoulder disability and can cause significant pain and dysfunction. This systematic review summarizes the latest research on rehabilitation following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they pertained to postoperative rehabilitation following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and were published between 2003 and 2019 with a level of evidence of 1 or 2. Two blinded reviewers screened, graded, and extracted data from articles and recommendations on various aspects of rehabilitation were summarized. A total of 4067 articles were retrieved from the database search and 22 studies were included for data extraction. We noted similar outcomes between early and delayed mobilization following surgery. Reviewed articles support the use of supervised physical therapy, bracing in 15 degrees external rotation, and adjunctive transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for pain management. Early isometric loading improved outcomes in 1 study. Evidence is lacking for exercise prescription parameters and postoperative rehabilitation of the subscapularis.
期刊介绍：
Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review helps physicians digest the large volume of clinical literature in sports medicine and arthroscopy, identify the most important new developments, and apply new information effectively in clinical practice. Each issue is guest-edited by an acknowledged expert and focuses on a single topic or controversy. The Guest Editor invites the leading specialists on the topic to write review articles that highlight the most important advances. This unique format makes the journal more in-depth, authoritative, and practical than most publications in this field. The journal also includes dozens of full-color and black-and-white arthroscopic images and illustrations.
