{Abstract}: UNASSIGNED: To investigate whether the preoperative shoulder range of motion (ROM), would increase the risk of postoperative shoulder stiffness, or whether it would be associated with other preoperative patient characteristics.
UNASSIGNED: The authors retrospectively analysed the 372 shoulders that underwent rotator cuff repair by 4 surgeons, between January 2010 and January 2011. All patients were followed up at 3 and 6 months by 2 independent observers to collect the ROM, including active forward elevation (AFE), passive forward elevation (PFE), and external rotation (ER), as well as subjective shoulder value (SSV).
UNASSIGNED: Of the initial cohort of 372 patients, 10 were lost to follow-up (2.7%), leaving a final cohort of 362 patients available for outcome assessment at a minimum follow-up of 6 months. Of the 362 patients, 281 did not require corticosteroid infiltration, 68 received corticosteroid infiltrations for shoulder stiffness with no apparent cause, and 13 received corticosteroid infiltrations for other reasons. None of the variables were associated with infiltration for shoulder stiffness. Older patients had greater SSV scores (β = 0.3; 95% CI [0.1, 0.6]; P = .015), while both manual and repetitive workers had lower SSV scores (β = -10.7; 95% CI [-15.8, -5.6]; P < .001, and β = -10.2; 95% CI [-15.1, -5.3]; P < .001).
UNASSIGNED: Postoperative SSV was significantly associated with age, as well as manual or repetitive work. Furthermore, postoperative PFE, AFE, and ER were significantly associated with preoperative PFE. Finally, at 3 and 6 months postoperative, patients who required infiltration for shoulder stiffness had significantly lower PFE, AFE, and ER compared to patients who did not require infiltration.
