Failure of healing of cuff repair and its effect on the clinical outcome

There is substantial evidence that many cuff repair surgeries fail to achieve durable reattachment of the tendon to bone. Interestingly many of the shoulders having failed cuff repairs are improved after surgery making us wonder if a smooth and move surgery might have achieved a similar result in these cases without putting the patient through the additional risk, cost and period of inactivity associated with a cuff repair attempt.

Over time, the propagated notion of a Pope bent on "changing" those aspects of church teaching that conflict with secularized Western society has aroused increasing concern among Francis' team, spurring a new strategy of increasingly explicit rebuttals . The latest example came just yesterday amid the cover piece for the forthcoming Rolling Stone – the first-ever papal fronting on the iconic magazine – which included a sidebar on "10 conservatives who have gone liberal" and was promptly rapped by the VatiSpox, Fr Federico Lombardi, as having "disqualified itself" by "falling in the usual mistake of a superficial journalism." Today, the clarification of substance fell to Francis himself, ...
