Abstract
Efforts to optimize patients' medical conditions are worthwhile to improve the outcomes of rotator cuff repair (RCR). Investigators in both basic science studies and lower level-of-evidence clinical studies have identified dyslipidemia and statin medication dosing as factors that may affect RCR outcomes. However, a recent retrospective review of a single surgeon's experience indicates that these factors may not significantly affect structural outcomes of RCR. Such discrepancies should compel more robust, prospective efforts to better inform substantive changes in clinical practice.
