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

Poor preoperative lipidemic control was significantly associated with poor healing after RCR. In addition to large mediolateral tear size, uncontrolled hyperlipidemia and DM were significant risk factors for retear. Moreover, poor lipidemic control compared with the recommended target level before surgery was more correlated with an increased retear rate than a preoperative LDL-C level.
