Background The purpose of the study was to evaluate the functional postoperative outcome in patients aged 80 years or over undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Methods From June 2004 to March 2007, 20 patients aged 80 years or over underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. All patients included had a history of unsatisfactory conservative treatment. Patients were evaluated in the preoperative and postoperative period using the UCLA score, Constant score, QuickDASH score and visual analogue scale for pain, function, and quality of life. Results The mean follow-up period was 28 months (range 24-48 months). The mean ucla score improved from 10.4 points preoperatively to 28.6 postoperatively (p <0.05). the constant score improve 31.5 points preoperatively to 69.3 postoperatively (p <0.05). The mean QuickdasH score improved from 33 points preoperatively to 16 postoperatively (p <0.05). The visual analogue scale for pain improved from 8 (range 5-9 points) to 2.2 (p <0.05). There were not postoperative complications. Conclusions In this series arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in patients aged 80 years or over demonstrates significant improvement in clinical outcomes and pain relief.
