Persistent scapular dyskinesis after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: a prospective study
A persistent scapular dyskinesis was observed after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Despite a statistically significant improvement reported for active flexion, active external rotation, and for the total CMS, scapular dyskinesis is not resolved with surgery and may contribute to worse long-term outcomes. Further biomechanical and clinical research studies are needed to define specific rehabilitation programs, to maximize outcomes, and to prevent possible cause of reinjury of the rotator cuff repaired.
