[Arthroscopic reconstruction of the rotator cuff. The current gold standard?].
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair has become the gold standard, and is now accepted throughout the world as the method of choice, for rotator cuff repair. As well as an experienced surgeon and meticulously correct arthroscopic technique, careful patient selection and adequate postoperative management are of decisive importance if a good postoperative outcome is to be achieved. With due consideration for all these factors the success rate is over 90%, as measured not only with reference to objective criteria, but also by patients' reports of their how satisfied they are with the result. This paper aims to report the indications, arthroscopic technique and postoperative protocol, and also the results of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
