Abstract
Retear rates after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair continue to be unacceptably high. Of the known risk factors for failure of rotator cuff repair, many are nonmodifiable. Poor glycemic control in patients with diabetes in the first 3 to 6 months after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is associated with a lower healing rate. This represents a modifiable risk factor that we should routinely address in patients postoperative rotator cuff repair.
