Editorial Commentary: Cost Associated With Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair Can Be Largely Controlled by the Surgeon

Surgeons must rely on cost and charge data to inform a patient outcome–optimized value-based approach arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs. Using biologic regenerative procedures augment repairs only when necessary optimizing anchor number are 2 obvious ways surgeons can help control of these procedures. Addition biologics, such as patches tissue augmentation, nearly doubled the charges for procedure.
