TLDR
Arthroscopic SCR restored shoulder function and resulted in high rates of return to recreational sports and physical work and between the physical work group and nonphysical work groups.
Abstract
Background:Although sports participation and heavy physical work can contribute to rotator cuff tears, many patients expect to return to these activities after surgery; however, irreparable rotator...

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty for the treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tear without glenohumeral arthritis.

TL;DR: When non-arthroplasty options either have failed or have a low likelihood of success, reverse shoulder arthroplasty provides reliable pain relief and return of shoulder function in patients with massive rotator cuff tears without arthritis at the time of short to intermediate-term follow-up.

Arthroscopic Repair of Massive Rotator Cuff Tears With Stage 3 and 4 Fatty Degeneration

TL;DR: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in patients with grade 3 or 4 fatty degeneration (> or =50%) can provide significant functional improvement and those with 50% to 75% fatty degenerations showed a much greater degree of improvement.
