“Functional outcomes and MRI-based tendon healing after (antero-) superior rotator cuff repair among patients under 50 years: retrospective analysis of traumatic versus non-traumatic rotator cuff tears”

Table 2 Postoperative outcome measures between patients with traumatic and non-traumatic RCT at follow up^a

Outcome Scores	Traumatic RCT (n = 21)	Non-traumatic RCT (n = 21)	P-value
VAS	1.8 ± 1.1	1.6 ± 1.2	0.890
ASES Score	95 (74 -100)	97 (82–100)	0.779
Constant Score	80 (64 – 88)	82 (72 – 92)	0.434
Abduction	89 ± 9	91 ± 7	0.320
External rotation	58 ± 11	62 ± 11	0.328

^a Continous data are presented as mean ± standard deviation or median (1^st quartile – 3^rd quartile). Abduction in degrees, measured passively in the scapular plane, external rotation measured in degrees, passively at 0° of abduction. RCT Rotator cuff tear, VAS Visual analogue scale, ASES American shoulder and elbow surgeons, Abduction in the scapular plane
