Erratum to:What influence does progression of a nonhealing rotator cuff tear have on shoulder pain and function? (Clin Orthop Relat Res (2017) 475:6 (1596–1604) DOI: 10.1007/s11999-017-5251-7)

Jeon and colleagues would like to correct an error found in the Discussion section of the published study "What Influence Does Progression of a Nonhealing Rotator Cuff Tear Have on Shoulder Pain and Function"A sentence in the Discussion section did not accurately convey the results of the study. The sentence should be: "Patients without healing of the repaired rotator cuff tendon with a decrease in the size of their tear, as measured at 6 months after surgery,experienced better shoulder function and muscle strength from those with increased tear size when followed beyond 6 months."
