Description
Chang Hee Baek and co-authors report in 2025 on shoulder surgery for torn rotator cuffs that cannot be fixed in the usual way. The surgery moves a tendon from the back, with scope help, to take over lost function.
The study followed fifty four patients for at least two years after surgery. The team built three dimensional models of the deltoid muscle from scan slices and measured its volume. Pain, strength, and range of motion all got better after surgery. The adjusted muscle volume rose as well. Patients with higher scores after surgery tended to have larger muscle volume, which links the muscle gain to better function.
