Abstract in brief

  • This study compares surgical and non-surgical treatments for full-thickness rotator cuff tears and finds that surgery tends to improve shoulder function and pain better than nonoperative methods after one year.
  • The review analyzed only high-quality studies and included data from 269 patients, showing statistically significant benefits for surgical patients, although the differences were small and might not be noticeable in everyday life.
  • The authors suggest that larger studies with longer follow-up are needed to see if these differences between treatments become more important over time.
