Where this comes from

Abstract

Early repair of acute traumatic rotator cuff tears has been shown to restore functional range of motion, whether or not there is complete healing. The ability to predict those cuff tears that can achieve only a partial repair can help with preoperative patient counseling. The Hamada classification can be predictive in determining outcomes in the treatment of massive rotator cuff tears.
