Relationship Between the Arthroscopic Anatomy of the Middle Glenohumeral Ligament and the Rotator Cuff Tear Position

August 1, 2022 updated by: RenJi Hospital
The main aim and scope of this study is making observation and comparing the difference in the tear position in the patients suffered form rotator cuff tear with different arthroscopic anatomy of the middle glenohumeral ligament. The results may identify the influence of the middle glenohumeral ligament anatomy type on the rotator cuff tear.

Study Population

Patients with rotator cuff tears received the arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • partial or full-thickness but reparable rotator cuff tear;
  • small- to large-sized rotator cuff tears being defined by DeOrio and Cofied4;
  • no improvements after at least 1 month of conservative treatment such as NSAIDs or corticosteroid injection.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • massive rotator cuff tears being defined by DeOrio and Cofied;
  • patients with osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint;
  • trauma or a history of surgery at the shoulder.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Leaf-like and Cord-like type
Under arthroscopy, the anatomy of middle glenohumeral ligament was leaf-like or cord-like.
Procedure: Rotator cuff repair
The patients received the arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
Absent type
Under arthroscopy, the anatomy of middle glenohumeral ligament was absent.
Procedure: Rotator cuff repair
The patients received the arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
Burford complex type
Under arthroscopy, the anatomy of middle glenohumeral ligament manifested the burford complex.
Procedure: Rotator cuff repair
The patients received the arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The arthroscopic tear position (Anetrior/Middle/Posterior)
Time Frame: During the surgery
The rotator cuff was divided into three parts according to the arthroscopic discovery: (1) the anterior part which contained the subsacpularis and one third of the suprascapularis forward; (2) the middle part which contained the two thirds of the suprascapularis backward and one third of the subscapularis forward; (3) the posterior part which contained two thirds of subscapularis backward and teres minor.
