Abstract:
Objective To study clinical results of arthroscopically assisted mini-open rotator cuff repair.Methods Twenty-two patients with rotator cuff tears were treated with arthroscopically assisted mini-open rotator cuff repair from March 1999 to March 2004.Thirteen patients underwent arthroscopic inspection,mini-open subacromial decompression,and rotator cuff repair.Nine patients underwent arthroscopic subacromial decompression and mini-open repair.The UCLA scoring system was used for outcome assessment.Results The 22 patients were followed for 12-72 months(mean,47 months).The UCLA scores were increased from 14.8?3.8 preoperatively to 32.0?4.7 postoperatively(t=15.086,P=0.000).The results were classified as excellent in 7 patients,good in 13 patients,fair in 1 patient,and poor in 1.Twenty patients were satisfied with the operative outcomes.Conclusions Arthroscopically assisted mini-open rotator cuff repair is an effective procedure for rotator cuff tears,with simplicity of performance and little invasion.
