Clinical Outcomes Report
Superior Capsular Reconstruction (SCR) Outcomes
PURPOSE
To report the clinical outcomes of pain, function and quality
of life for patients who have undergone superior capsular
reconstruction (SCR) for rotator cuff arthropathy.
METHODS
The inclusion criteria for this analysis were patients enrolled in
the Surgical Outcomes System™ registry who underwent SCR
based on site data entry. Standard patient-reported outcomes
questionnaires for VAS, ASES and SANE were administered
at standard time points postoperatively. Results were reported
from pre-surgery out to one year post-surgery. The number of
patients included per group is shown at the right.

TREND CONCLUSION
Based on these early results, the pain, function and quality
of life scores for SCR trend towards favorable outcomes.
However, no claims can be made on the potential for these
results without further statistical analysis to determine if there
is statistical significance. More patients and scores are needed
to evaluate long-term success.
