LEARNING ARTHROSCOPIC ROTATOR CUFF Repair Does Not Compromise Patient
نویسنده
چکیده
Purpose: Arthroscopic rotator cuff (RC) repair is reported to have a steep learning curve with rapid decrease in rotator cuff repair time (RCRT) during a surgeon’s first 10 cases. Faster surgery may represent learning; however, faster surgery does not represent better surgery. The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical outcome (rather than RCRT) during the learning phase of arthroscopic RC repair.
