Core Tip

Core Tip: We evaluated a cohort of patients with mild to moderate glenohumeral arthritis who underwent rotator cuff repair. We retrospectively reviewed 71 patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA) (Glenohumeral Arthritis) who underwent concomitant rotator cuff repair, and matched these patients to 71 patients who underwent rotator cuff repair without GHOA. We evaluated patient reported outcomes and demographic information for both cohorts.
