Abstract
A significant change in supraspinatus muscle atrophy occurs in every patient, provided the patient has some tendon retraction preoperatively. The amount of change in supraspinatus muscle atrophy after surgery depends on the age to some extent, but tendon retraction is the most important thing that decides how much change in atrophy can occur postoperatively.
