Does fat infiltration of the rotator cuff muscles contribute to increased hidden blood loss (HBL) and other risk factors during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair for rotator cuff injuries?

Abstract Objective This study aimed to compare hidden blood loss (HBL) in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair based on the degree of rotator cuff fatty infiltration, and to determine whether fatty infiltration is associated with increased HBL and other risk factors. Methods A retros...
