Abstract:
Objective:To compare the medium-term clinical effects of arthroscopic double row repair between traumatic and degenerative medium supraspinatus tear.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 23 patients who had been treated for traumatic or degenerative medium supraspinatus tear by the same arthroscopic double row repair and postoperative rehabilitation at Sports Medicine Center, The First Hospital Affiliated to Army Medical University between January 2015 and August 2020. They were assigned into 2 groups according to different tears. In the traumatic group of 8 cases of traumatic medium supraspinatus tear, there were 5 males and 3 females with an age of (46.1±4.3) years and a tear size of (1.3±1.0) cm 2. In the degenerative group of 15 cases of degenerative medium supraspinatus tear, there were 4 males and 11 females with an age of (59.9±8.1) years and a tear size of (4.1±1.1) cm 2. At preoperation and the last follow-up, the shoulder pain was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS), and the shoulder function by American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Constant-Murley score and Simple Shoulder Test (SST); the improvements in active range of motion (ROM) of the shoulder were recorded at the last follow-up. Results:The 2 groups were comparable because there was no significant difference between them in the general clinical data ( P>0.05). The traumatic and degenerative groups were followed up for (40.3±11.2) and (36.4±12.4) months, respectively. At the last follow-up, the improvements in range of anterior flexion and internal rotation vertebral rank in the degenerative group [55.3°±33.6° and (4.1±1.3) ranks] were significantly greater than those in the traumatic group [27.5°±22.5° and (2.3±1.9) ranks] ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the VAS, ASES, Constant-Murley, and SST scores in the degenerative group were improved respectively by (3.7±0.8), (40.9±14.0), (38.4±9.4), and (6.5±1.4) points compared with their preoperative values, significantly greater than those in the traumatic group [(2.3±0.7), (19.6±14.6), (19.2±7.9), and (3.8±0.7) points] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Arthroscopic double row repair can achieve significant medium-term improvements in shoulder function for both traumatic and degenerative medium supraspinatus tears, but the improvements may be grater for the degenerative ones.
