Core Tip	This study explored the impact of integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine (TCM-WM) on the recovery of 100 patients with rotator cuff injuries (RCIs) who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The control group underwent routine rehabilitation treatment, whereas the experimental group underwent TCM-WM under the multidisciplinary team model, including acupuncture and moxibustion, TCM traumatology and orthopedics, and rehabilitation. We confirmed that TCM–WM has significant clinical advantages in accelerating the recovery of patients with RCIs after arthroscopic surgery, particularly in improving shoulder joint function, pain, functional impairment, muscle strength, and shoulder joint range of motion. The results indicate the potential of TCM–WM as an alternative therapeutic option for patients with RCIs.
