- Abstract: Objective To compare the early effect of arthroscopic modified Mason-Allen(mMA)and suture-bridge technique for small and medium-size rotator cuff tear.Methods 60 patients with small and medium-size rotator cuff tear were divided into mMA group and suture bridge group,30 cases each.The mMA group was treated with mMA technique,and the suture bridge group was treated with suture-bridge technique.The operative time,the number of anchors used,blood loss,shoulder mobility,pain visual analogue scale(VAS),American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons(ASES)scale,the Constant-Murley score and the rate of re-tear were compared between the two groups.Results The operative time and the number of anchors used in mMA group were less than those in suture bridge group(P<0.05),and there was no difference of blood loss between the two groups(P>0.05).After operation,the shoulder joint motion of two groups was increased compared with before operation(P<0.05),and there was no statistical difference between the two groups(P>0.05).After surgery,VAS of the two groups was lower than that before surgery,ASES scale and Constant-Murley scores were higher than those before surgery(P<0.05),there was no difference in VAS,ASES and Constant-Murley scores between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no difference in re-tear rate between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Arthroscopic mMA is similar to suture-bridge technique in the treatment of small and medium-size rotator cuff tear,but operative time of mMA is shorter and it requires less anchors.
