Summary

This study followed 201 people who had arthroscopic surgery for a torn rotator cuff. Researchers measured shoulder movement and strength before surgery and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after. They also used questionnaires to track quality of life. The goal was to understand how shoulder function and well-being change over time after repair.
