Rotator cuff repair is associated with multiple complications, significant morbidity, and reintervention, which could be mitigated by postoperative chemodeneveration with botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A). This study evaluated the antinociceptive and paralytic effects of BTX-A on an experimental supraspinatus repair rat model and its effect on functional outcomes (running performance).
