Background  There is a growing patient interest in being involved in the decision-making process. However, little information is provided on how this information should be structured.  Does it make a difference, in patient treatment decision-making, whether information is given based on the benefits or on the side effects in rotator cuff disorders?    Methods  It is a prospective randomized study that includes patients diagnosed with rotator cuff tears.  Patients were randomly allocated to either group A (benefit-inform) or group B (side effect-inform) and were asked to answer the following questions based on their assigned group:  Group A: Your doctor informs you that you have a rotator cuff tear and states that if he/she surgically repairs your cuff tear you will improve and that the cuff remains healed at the 2-year follow-up in 71% of the cases where surgery is done.  Would you choose surgery? Yes or No  Group B: Your doctor informs you that you have a rotator cuff tear and that if he/she surgically repairs your cuff tear you will improve and that the cuff is torn again at 2-year follow-up in 29% of the cases where surgery is done.  Would you choose surgery? Yes or No  Age, gender, the shoulder affected and the functional status assessed through the Constant score were also recorded.    Results  80 patients were randomized (43 to group A and 37 to group B). The patients assigned to group A (benefit) accepted surgery significantly more frequently than those assigned to group B (complication) ( P  = 0.000). In group A, 36 of 43 (84%) accepted surgery, compared to 17 of 37 (46%) in group B.    Conclusions  The way that information on rotator cuff disorders is provided strongly influences patients’ treatment decisions.    Trial registration  ClinicalTrials.gov,  NCT03205852 . Registered 29 June 2017. Retrospectively registered.
