Effect of Preoperative Lipidemic Control on Retear Rates After Rotator Cuff Repair in Patients With Hyperlipidemia

In patients with hyperlipidemia, the risk of retear increases after rotator cuff repair (RCR). In particular, it has been reported that preoperative low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level affects cuff integrity. However, there are no studies assessing whether lipidemic control affects cuff healing.
