Patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) of arthroscopic versus mini-open rotator cuff repair-an overview of meta-analysis

Both arthroscopic and mini-open rotator cuff repair techniques yield comparable clinical and patient-reported outcomes. While the mini-open approach offers a shorter operative duration, the choice of technique should be guided primarily by surgeon expertise, tear characteristics, and patient-specific factors. Further high-quality studies incorporating imaging and long-term follow-up are warranted to optimise rotator cuff repair strategies.
