Injuries to the extensor mechanism include a wide range of injuries from minor one to massive defect. And the methods of treatment must be individualized according to the anatomical site, extent and chronicity of injuries. The extensor mechanism is a triangular thin sheet like structure, the function of which cannot be explained completely by the Tubiana's church-steeple like diagram. Authors think that the extensor mechanism should be repaired or reconstructed as a triangular sheet. The tension of the repaired or reconstructed tendon was estimated as good when the neutral extensions were obtained in all the MP, PIP and DIP joints after the completion of sutures. Also authors think that stable sutures are mandatory for the early rehabilitation postopoeratively. Seventy-five patients have been treated by the authors from 1982 to 1994. According to zonal classification, forty-two patients were injured in Zone I. 5 in Zone II, 21 in Zone III, 5 in Zone IV and 2 patients were unclassified due to massive defects of the extensor mechanism. Mostly bony mallet injuries were treated by open reduction and K-wire fixation. Acute tendinous mallet injuries were treated by conservative splinting and old injuries were treated by anatomical plication of the terminal extensor tendon. Old buttonhole deformities were generally treated by the central tendon plication. Massive defects were managed by skin coverage and reconstruction of the extensor mechanism by using a tendon graft which was tailored like a triangular thin sheet. With author's treatment principles, excellent or good results were obtained in about 87%. Consequently, authors emphasize that an anatomical repair or reconstruction is a keystone in the treatment of injuries to the extensor mechanism.

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to determine the correlation between the amount of pain reduction after local anesthetic injection into the subacromial space preoperatively and clinical outcome after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. METHODS: A total of 127 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and followed up at least 1 year were analyzed retrospectively. Preoperatively, a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain was measured in all patients before and after the ultrasound guided impingement test. The participants were divied into four groups according to pain reduntion ater impingement test (Group A: >75%, Group B: 50%–75%, Group C: 25%–50%, Group D: <25%). VAS for pain, shoulder range of motion, shoulder isometric strength, ASES score were evaluated preoperatively and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively. RESULTS: After surgery, the amount of pain reduction shows significantly at 3, 6 months in Groups A, B as compared to Groups C, D (p<0.05). Among the range of motion of shoulder joint, forward flexion was significantly improved in Group A at 3 months (p<0.05). The ASES score significantly improved at 3, 6 months in Groups A, B as compared to Group C, D (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative degree of pain reduction after impingement test correlates with the improvement of pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, especially in the early phase. Therefore, the impingement test could be effectively used.

BACKGROUND: This study investigated the efficacy and safety of combined subacromial and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia for control of postoperative pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. METHODS: Between May 2012 and August 2014, 60 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with acromioplasty and received patient-controlled analgesia were studied prospectively. Cases were divided into 2 groups: combined subacromial and intravenous infusion group (group A, 30 cases) and solitary intravenous infusion group (group B, 30 cases). The visual analogue scale was used to record the patient's level of pain every 12 hours during postoperative 72 hours and the following 48 hours after the suspension of patient-controlled analgesia. RESULTS: The mean preoperative visual analogue scale score was 7.8 in group A and 7.6 in group B, and the immediate postoperative visual analogue scale score was 7.9 and 8.1 for each group. At postoperative time (From 12 hours to 72 hours after operation), the scores of combined subacromial and intravenous infusion were significantly lower than those of solitary intravenous infusion. Significant difference in the frequency of supplemental analgesic injections was observed between group A and group B (p=0.008). However, no significant difference in complication rate was observed between the two groups (p=0.562). CONCLUSIONS: Combined subacromial and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is more effective than solitary intravenous infusion without significantly increasing complications. Therefore, combined subacromial and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia could be a effective pain control method.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pattern of patient referrals to shoulder surgeons and to evaluate the differences in diagnosis between shoulder surgeons and other doctors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January 2002 to December 2003, we reviewed 695 patients who were diagnosed with rotator cuff disorders; 320 patients were male and 375 were female. The average age was 52 years old. We classified patients into three referral types: 1) outside transfers were referred from other hospitals or local clinics, 2) internal transfers were referred by doctors in our hospital, and 3) self-initiated, which did not have a referral. We classified the diagnostic concordance as Incorrect, Similar, or Correct. RESULTS: The number of outside transfers was 254, with most referrals from orthopedic surgeons (142 patients). We received 162 internal transfers, mostly from family doctors (44 patients). For outside transfers, diagnosis was incorrect in 60 patients (24%), similar in 135 patients (53%), and correct in 59 patients (23%). Diagnosis in internal transfers was incorrect in 11 patients (7%), similar in 139 patients (86%), and correct in 12 patients (7%). CONCLUSION: Most physicians seem unfamiliar with rotator cuff disorders. To improve management of these patients, we should increase awareness of these diseases in the general public as well as physicians.
