Defining the Clinical Problem: Disease Epidemiology and Scope of the Problem-Dr. Scott A. Rodeo, M.D.

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the challenges in rotator cuff repair and the disconnect between structural and clinical outcomes. It mentions the failure rate in rotator cuff repair and the influence of techniques such as double row repair, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and early motion. The video also highlights the importance of protecting repairs early and the issue of tendon retraction. It discusses the timing of failures and factors that affect healing, including age and intrinsic tendon and patient factors. The video concludes by mentioning the need for biologic augmentation approaches to improve rotator cuff healing.
