Despite extensive published literature on rotator cuff repair, it can still be difficult to predict surgical reparability. We understand that larger chronic tears with fatty infiltration are associated with a greater risk of irreparability. However, it can be difficult to accurately determine the odds of irreparability on a patient-specific level. Several ubiquitous preoperative variables can be incorporated into an "irreparability equation" to more accurately predict if the rotator cuff can be repaired, which could be of tremendous benefit to both the patient and surgeon.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 August 2018.
All research outputs
#10,186,100
of 34,411,289 outputs
Outputs from Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery
#1,896
of 5,199 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#124,219
of 372,966 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery
#34
of 71 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,411,289 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 70th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,199 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 372,966 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 71 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its contemporaries.
