The Thomson Institute for Scientific Information Web of Science database was used to rank the top 50 articles regarding rotator cuff repair by number of citations received. Although the number of citations is a useful benchmark, it must be taken as only one of many indices of the value of an article to the study of orthopaedics. The most cited articles are out of date, reflecting that a longer time in publication allows more time for citation, and most have low levels of evidence (Level IV, retrospective case series absent a control group).
汤姆森科学信息研究所的 Web of Science 数据库被用来根据引用次数对有关肩袖修复的前 50 篇文章进行排名。尽管引用次数是一个有用的基准，但它必须被视为评估一篇文章对骨科研究价值的众多指标之一。引用次数最多的文章已经过时，这反映出发表时间越长，获得引用的时间就越多，而且大多数文章的证据水平较低（IV 级，缺乏对照组的回顾性病例系列）。
