Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with manipulation under anesthesia yields similar clinical outcomes to isolated rotator cuff repair and is associated with lower retear rates in medium-sized tears
Patients with preoperative stiffness treated with MUA alone achieved comparable outcomes to those without stiffness, with improved tendon healing in medium-sized tears. Level of evidence: III.
