Comparisons of surgeon and patient prediction of 1-year outcomes following rotator cuff surgery
On average, surgeons were better able to predict outcomes compared to patients. Patients tended to overestimate their outcomes, while surgeons tended to underestimate patient outcomes. These findings raise the importance of preoperative patient counselling to set more realistic expectations that would potentially improve their achieved outcomes.
