In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass due to aging, which consequently leads to a decline in muscle function. It is considered an independent risk factor for falls and fractures, disability, postoperative complications, and mortality. Rotator cuff tears are known to be influenced by systemic diseases such as diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, thyroid disorders, and osteoporosis. The aim of our study is to investigate whether there is a relationship between sarcopenia and rotator cuff tears, and if so, to determine the location and type of the tear.
