Abstract:
Objective To compare the clinical effect of arthroscopic single-row and suture-bridge double-row fixation of full-thickness rotator cuff tear.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 40 patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tear treated by single-row and suture-bridge double-row fixation between May 2010 and May 2012.Single-row rotator cuff repair was performed in 18 patients and doublerow repair in 22 patients.The two techniques were compared in aspects of complications,recovery time to daily life,time to achieve satisfaction score,re-tear rate,pre-and post-operative VAS,University of California at Los Angeles Shoulder Scores (UCLA),and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES).Results Mean period of follow-up was 15.6 months (range,13-24 months).Both treatment were effective in improving VAS,UCLA,and ASES,but the differences were insignificant (P > 0.05).Recovery time to daily life,time to achieve satisfaction score,and large rotator cuff re-tear rate were 69.2 ± 16.6)d,(196.4 ±24.6)d,and 4/5 respectively in single-row fixation,with significant differences from (54.1 ± 13.3)d,(165.0 ±20.6)d,and 1/8 in suture-bridge double-row fixation (P <0.05).Conclusion Both treatments are effective for rotator cuff reconstruction,but suture-bridge double-row fixation provides earlier recovery to daily life,shorter time to achieve satisfaction score,and lower incidence of large rotator cuff retear.
