Restorative Care01:19

Restorative Care

2.0K
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

4.0K
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...

Summary

Most patients (73.6%) return to golf after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, typically within one year. Young males with good tissue quality experienced better outcomes and earlier return to play.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Rehabilitation Science

Background:

  • Increasing prevalence of rotator cuff repair procedures.
  • Lack of studies on golf activity return post-arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the rate and factors influencing return to golf after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
  • To analyze golf performance, symptomology, and recovery timelines.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 197 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
  • Data collected via online or phone surveys assessing golf career, performance, and symptoms.
  • Statistical analysis based on rotator cuff tear size and patient demographics.

Main Results:

  • 73.6% of patients returned to golf, with most returning at 1 year post-surgery.
  • Longer golf careers and good intraoperative tissue quality correlated with higher return rates.
  • Men were significantly more likely to return to golf than women; younger patients returned sooner.

Conclusions:

  • Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair has a high rate of return to golf, exceeding expectations.
  • Younger males with good tissue quality demonstrate favorable outcomes, including maintained or improved scores and earlier return.
  • Factors like age, sex, golf career length, and tissue quality influence golf return post-surgery.
