Abstract
Rotator cuff tears are a common cause of pain and disability among patients with shoulder pa-thology. Nonoperative and operative strategies exist to manage rotator cuff pathology. Although rotator cuff repair is successful for most patients, some patients may experience retear or nonheal-ing of the rotator cuff after surgery. Several risk factors, modifiable and nonmodifiable, have been associated with an increased retear rate following rotator cuff repair. The literature shows consistency and agreement in regards to many of these risk factors, most notably, patient age and tear size, and rotator cuff muscular atrophy. Other risk factors for retear following rotator cuff repair remain controversial. Nevertheless, it is of great importance for shoulder surgeons to be familiar with the modifiable and nonmodifi-able risk factors associated with retear following rotator cuff repair surgery. Knowledge of these risk factors allows surgeons to better advise pa-tients and optimize their chances of success following rotator cuff repair surgery.
