Tendon Healing Progression Evaluated With Magnetic Resonance Imaging Signal Intensity and Its Correlation With Clinical Outcomes Within 1 Year After Rotator Cuff Repair With the Suture-Bridge Technique

Abstract

After RCR with the suture-bridge technique, it took longer for SI to become relatively normal than it did to have a significant clinical improvement. Early after surgery (1-3 months), worse clinical outcome correlated with higher SI on proximal cuff tendon.
