Arthroscopic Treatment of Partial Rotator Cuff Tears in Shoulder Joint

Arthroscopic Treatment of Partial-thickness Rotator Cuff Tendon Tears

A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with partial-thickness rotator cuff tendon tears who underwent arthroscopic surgery from August 2006 to December 2011. To evaluate functional outcomes and tendon healing after arthroscopy.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Rotator Cuff Tears
• Intervention / Treatment: Procedure: shoulder arthroscopy

Detailed Description

To study the surgical method and clinical effect of arthroscopic treatment of rotator cuff tendon tear. Retrospective analysis was performed on patients with rotator cuff tendon tears who underwent arthroscopic surgery from August 2006 to December 2011. Preoperative X-ray and MRI were performed. Rotator cuff repair was performed during the operation. UCLA shoulder scoring scale was used to evaluate the shoulder joint at preoperative and final follow-up.

Study Population

Patients diagnosed with partial-thickness rotator cuff tendon tears. Partial rotator cuff tears can be divided into three categories, bursa side tears, tendon tears and joint side tears. Studies have found that rotator cuff tendon tears account for 55% of partial tears, compared to the other two types of partial tears, there has been very little research on partial-thickness rotator cuff tendon tears, which has no consensus on diagnosis and treatment.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• From August 2006 to December 2011, patients with partial-thickness rotator cuff tendon tears who underwent arthroscopic surgery in our department and were successfully followed up.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with frozen shoulder and shoulder joint instability.

Intervention / Treatment

patients with partial-thickness rotator cuff tendon tears; Partial rotator cuff tears can be divided into three categories, bursa side tears, tendon tears and joint side tears. Studies have found that rotator cuff tendon tears account for 55% of partial tears, compared to the other two types of partial tears, there has been very little research on partial-thickness rotator cuff tendon tears, which has no consensus on diagnosis and treatment.

Procedure: shoulder arthroscopy; Patients underwent ubacromial bursectomy and acromioplasty , cuff debridement and cuff repair, side to side suture of rotator cuff combined with suture anchor.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
The function of shoulder joint was analyzed 1 year after arthroscopy.	The range of motion and strength of the shoulder joint in all directions are evaluated and recorded. Analysis of UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) Shoulder Score Scale at 1 year after operation.The UCLA scale has a minimum score of 2 and a maximum score of 35. The higher the score, the better the prognosis of the patients.	1 year after operation
The function of shoulder joint was analyzed 2 years after arthroscopy.	The range of motion and strength of the shoulder joint in all directions are evaluated and recorded. Analysis of UCLA Shoulder Score Scale at 2 years after operation	2 years after operation
The function of shoulder joint was analyzed 5 years after arthroscopy.	The range of motion and strength of the shoulder joint in all directions are evaluated and recorded. Analysis of UCLA Shoulder Score Scale at 5 years after operation	5 years after operation
