Abstract:
Objective To systematically review the efficacy of arthroscopic distal clavicle resection (DCR) in repair of rotator cuff (RCR) with acromioclavicular arthritis.Methods The Cochrane Library,PubMed,Medline EMbase,CBM and WanFang Data were searched for studies up to May 2016 concerning the efficacy of arthroscopic distal clavicle resection in repair of rotator cuff with acromioclavicular arthritis.Two reviewers independently screened the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,extracted the data and assessed the methodological quality of the studies included.Next,meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software to compare the efficacy between the patients undergoing arthroscopic DCR plus RCR and those undergoing simple arthroscopic RCR.The randomized control trails (RCT) and clinical control trials (CCT) included were evaluated according to Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions (Version 5.1.0) and Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies (MINORS),respectively.Results A total of 5 studies (3 RCTs and 2 CCTs) involving 465 patients were included.No statistically significant difference was found between the RCR and the DCR plus RCR patients in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score,Constant score,American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score,shoulder range of motion (ROM),postoperative acromioclavicular pain or rotator cuff retear (P > 0.05).The 3 RCTs showed moderate bias risk and the 2 CCTs scored 21 MINORS points.Conclusion Since current evidence shows no advantages of arthroscopic DCR over RCR in repair of rotator cuff with acromioclavicular arthritis in VAS score,Constant score,ASES score,shoulder ROM,postoperative acromioclavicular pain or rotator cuff retear,arthroscopic DCR should not be recommended for routine use in clinic.
