Background: Little is known about the time dependence of the failure rate of surgically repaired rotator cuffs. Retears are significant, as they are common and may lead to less satisfactory outcomes and additional operations. Their timing is critical foundational information for understanding failure mechanisms. However, this remains unclear. Currently, there exist a number of studies that have reported retear rates at specific time points. Combining data from these publications can reveal when cuffs retear, which will help inform expectations and guidelines for progression of activity after surgery. Methods: PubMed, Medline, and Embase were searched for studies relating to rotator cuff repair. Abstracts and articles were evaluated on the basis of predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were extracted from those publications that satisfied all requirements, and regression analysis was performed. Results: Thirteen articles were included in the final meta-analysis. Retear rates for medium tears increased for approximately 15 months and leveled off at approximately 20%. Retear rates for large tears progressed steadily for about 12 months and approached an upper limit of approximately 40%. Retear rates for massive tears ranged from 20% to 60%, but the distribution of retear rate over time for these cuff tears is not clear from these data. Conclusion: Retear rates for medium and large tears generally increase until at least 10-15 months after surgery, after which they are likely to level off. Retear rates for massive tears are variable and may follow a time course different from that of other tear sizes. Retear rates depend on size of the original tear.
