• Positive predictors: age <50, male, high activity level, structured rehab.
• Findings support patient-specific rehabilitation protocols.

"This study examines return to sport (RTS) after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) in a Swiss multi-centre cohort. It analyses epidemiological data and prognostic factors influencing RTS success. Results show younger age, male sex, and sport-specific training as positive predictors. The study provides valuable insights for postoperative rehabilitation and expectation management."
