Are there any prognostic prediction parameters (PPPs) in the treatment of the massive rotator cuff tear with latissimus dorsi transfer?
Latissimus dorsi transfer is an excellent option in the treatment of irreparable postero-superior tears of the rotator cuff in well-selected patients. The literature remains ambiguous with regard to valid prognostic predictive parameters for complex salvage procedures, owing to the consistent use of small study samples. Thus, there is an overwhelming need for a multicenter study.
Three months' supplementation of PUFA increased CFVR in Japanese elderly individuals, which suggests beneficial effects of PUFA on the coronary microcirculation.
