The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to determine if the duration of symptoms influences the features seen in patients with atraumatic full thickness rotator cuff tears. Our hypothesis is that increasing duration of symptoms will correlate with more advanced findings of rotator cuff tear severity on MRI, worse shoulder outcome scores, more pain, decreased range of motion, and less strength. 450 patients with full thickness rotator cuff tears were enrolled in a prospective cohort study to assess the effectiveness of nonoperative treatment and factors predictive of success. Duration of patient symptoms were divided into four groups: ≤3 months, 4–6 months, 7–12 months, and >12 months. Data collected at patient entry into the study included: 1.) Demographic data, 2.) History and physical exam data, 3.) Radiographic imaging data, and 4.) Validated patient reported measures of shoulder status. Statistical analysis included a univariate analysis with Kruskal-Wallis test and Pearson tests to identify statistically significant differences in these features for different durations of symptoms Longer duration of symptoms does not correlate with more severe rotator cuff disease. Duration of symptoms was not related to weakness; limited range of motion; tear size; fatty atrophy; or validated patient reported outcome measures. There is only a weak relationship between the duration of symptoms and features associated with rotator cuff disease. Level III, Cross Sectional Study
