Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of cervical radiculopathy on functional status and quality of life outcomes in patients who have undergone rotator cuff repair, comparing the group with a history of cervical radiculopathy to the group without cervical radiculopathy. Study topic: The participants of the study were selected from patients who underwent rotator cuff repair at the Orthopedics and Traumatology clinic of Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kırdar City Hospital between 2018 and 2023. The first group consisted of patients without cervical radiculopathy, while the second group included patients with a previously diagnosed cervical radiculopathy. The study will examine the effect of the presence of cervical radiculopathy on functional outcomes and quality of life in patients who underwent rotator cuff repair.
