Application and analysis of the arthroscopic remnant-preserving technique to rotator cuff tear: a retrospective study
The remnant-preservation technique was associated with reduced early postoperative pain, better functional recovery in shoulder mobility, and enhanced rotator cuff healing compared with remnant removal. These findings suggest that preserving footprint remnant tissue during arthroscopic repair may optimize clinical and structural outcomes.
