Correlation between SANE, ASES scores found after rotator cuff or SLAP repair
When it comes to rotator cuff and superior labral anterior and posterior repair, a significant correlation was found between postoperative Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons rating methods, according to study results.
In their retrospective review of prospective database, researchers collected preoperative and outcome measures, including pain, range of motion, and postoperative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) and Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation (SANE) scores from 262 patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery for rotator cuff tears or superior labral anterior and posterior (SLAP) lesions between 1999 and 2007.

Researchers identified 135 patients with primary rotator cuff repair, 73 patients with rotator cuff revision and 54 patients with SLAP repair. According to study results, the overall mean ASES score after surgery was 82.7 and SANE score was 83.3. Investigators found the Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.8 between both scores. A subgroup analysis showed the cuff revision group had the highest correlation, followed by the SLAP group and primary cuff group. – by Casey Tingle
