What is Rotator Cuff Injury in the Pediatric Population: a Systematic Review of Patient Characteristics, Treatment, and Outcomes about?
Rotator cuff injuries (RCIs), traditionally thought to be an adult-type pathology, have been reported in the pediatric population, but there remains limited evidence regarding this injury pattern in pediatric patients. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature to characterize the epidemiology, injury patterns, treatment modalities, and outcomes for pediatric patients with RCIs. A systematic review was performed in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, reviewing Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane, and CINAHL databases. Studies reporting imaging confirmed RCIs, and treatment outcomes in patients less than 18 years of age were included. Patient demographics, mechanism, injury type, and injury location were recorded. Treatment type and patient outcomes were abstracted when available and summarized with descriptive statistics. Our search identified 28 studies published from 1994 to 2020, which included 215 total tendons injured in 185 patients. Twenty-six studies were classified as level IV evidence, whereas only two were level III. When described, the most injured tendon (n = 184) was the supraspinatus,
