Patients underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with acromioplasty. Patients in group 1 (39 patients) underwent additional arthroscopic DCR, while patients in group 2 (39 patients) did not. Clinical outcomes of the 2 groups were compared using the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, range of motion, Constant score, and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score up to at least 24 months. The structural integrity of repaired rotator cuffs was assessed using ultrasonography, computed tomography arthrography, or MRI at least 6 months after surgery. To evaluate ACJ instability, weighted stress radiography of the ACJ was studied at 6 and 12 months postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients in both groups showed significant improvement in the VAS score and all functional scores at final follow-up (mean, 29.2 months; range, 24-46 months) without significant differences between the 2 groups ( P &gt; .05). Results (mean \u00b1 SD) for preoperative group 1\/group 2 and postoperative group 1\/group 2 were as follows, respectively: 7.2 \u00b1 1.8\/6.1 \u00b1 1.9 ( P = .02) and 0.6 \u00b1 1.8\/0.6 \u00b1 0.9 ( P = .97) for the VAS score, 74.1 \u00b1 5.7\/73.8 \u00b1 8.0 ( P = .87) and 96.3 \u00b1 5.7\/95.7 \u00b1 4.6 ( P = .77) for the Constant score, and 47.0 \u00b1 10.3\/50.8 \u00b1 14.1 ( P = .22) and 91.5 \u00b1 15.5\/94.5 \u00b1 11.8 ( P = .55) for the ASES score. Failed cuff healing occurred in 9 patients (23%) in group 1 and 10 patients (26%) in group 2, with no significant difference ( P = .95). In group 1, there were 2 patients (5.0%) with ACJ subluxation on weighted stress radiography at 6 months postoperatively. These patients complained of gross protrusion and ACJ tenderness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Preventive arthroscopic DCR in patients with rotator cuff tears and concomitant asymptomatic radiological ACJ arthritis did not result in better clinical or structural outcomes, and it did lead to symptomatic ACJ instability in some patients. Preventive arthroscopic DCR is not recommended in patients with radiological but asymptomatic ACJ arthritis. Further long-term follow-up is needed to confirm the development of symptoms in ACJ arthritis.<\/jats:p>\n
