Effects of obesity on post-surgical recovery and functional outcomes in rotator cuff tear repair.

Obese patients demonstrated significantly reduced range of motion in both active forward flexion ( p = 0.035) and external rotation ( p = 0.024), and showed a trend toward higher postoperative pain ( p = 0.076) and poorer functional recovery compared to non-obese patients.
