RECRUITINGChange in Sugaya score as measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Sugaya classification is a classification system that is used to analyze postoperative rotator cuff tendon integrity
Time frame: 6 months post surgery , 12 months post surgery
Change in range of motion as assessed by the Passive Range of Motion (PROM) assessment using a goniometer
A goniometer will be used to measure range of motion during the PROM assessment. The goniometer measures the angle between the beginning position and the ending position of available motion, and the result is reported in degrees.PROM will be measured on both sides
Time frame: baseline, 4weeks, 3 months, 6 months 9 months, and 12 months
Change in shoulder function as assessed by the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Score (ASES)
The total score is weighted 50% for pain and 50% for function. The pain score is calculated by subtracting the VAS from 10 and multiplying it by 5. The 10 functional questions are scored on a 4-point scale (0-3) with a maximum functional score of 30. The raw functional score is then multiplied by 5/3 to make the maximum functional score out of 50 possible points. The pain and function scores are then added together to obtain the final ASES score (out of 100). Higher scores correlate to better outcomes.
Time frame: baseline, 4weeks, 3 months, 6 months 9 months, and 12 months
Change in pain intensity as assessed by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
VAS is scored on a 100mm horizontal scale that represents the patients pain intensity. A higher score corresponds to increased pain intensity
Time frame: baseline, 4weeks, 3 months, 6 months 9 months, and 12 months
Change in pain and functional disability as assessed by the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)
SPADI is a self-administered questionnaire that measures a combination of pain and functional disability. This contains 13 items that assess two domains; a 5-item subscale that measures pain and an 8-item subscale that measures disability and each is scored from 0 = no pain and 10 = the worst pain imaginable. SPADI is scored from 0 to 130 with a high score representing more pain and disability.
