Overuse, micro-traumas, and impingement, isolated or combined, are the more common etiological factors for rotator cuff tears. Metabolic disorders (diabetes, adiposity, hypercholesterolemia), hypertension, cigarette smoking and a genetic predisposition are considered risk factors. However, no study has compared the prevalence of these risk factors in subjects with bilateral and monolateral tears.

Abstract: | Overuse, micro-traumas, and impingement, isolated or combined, are the more common etiological factors for rotator cuff tears. Metabolic disorders (diabetes, adiposity, hypercholesterolemia), hypertension, cigarette smoking and a genetic predisposition are considered risk factors. However, no study has compared the prevalence of these risk factors in subjects with bilateral and monolateral tears. |
