Objective:To explore the correlation between the anatomical features of shoulder joint and the re-tear rate after surgical repair for small and medium-sized rotator cuff tears.Methods:From June 2017 to June 2019, 55 patients who were diagnosed with small or medium-sized rotator cuff tears and treated with arthroscopic single-row repair were enrolled. Demographics including age, sex, disease course, history of smoking and diabetes mellitus, re-tear rates, Constant-Murley score, University of California, Los Angeles score (UCLA) at 6-month, 1-year, 2-year and 3-year after operation were collected. Postoperative critical shoulder angle (CSA) and acromial index (AI) were measured and calculated based on CT scan. The patients were divided into two groups: patients who got re-tear history during follow-up were included into endpoint re-tear (ER) group, and those who got no re-tear history during follow-up were included into endpoint non-tear (EN) group. One-way Anova was used to compare the CSA\AI among different follow-up point. Fisher's exact test was used to compare sex, morbidity of smoking and diabetes between the ER and EN groups. Two independent samples t-test were used to compare age, disease course, CSA and AI at 1-day after operation, functional scores at each follow-up point between the two groups. Binomial logistic regression analysis was performed to test CSA and AI at 1-day after operation as the risk factors of rotator cuff re-tear at 6-month, 1-year, 2-year and 3-year after operation. The predictive efficacy of CSA and AI at 1-day after operation on re-tear rate at 3-year after operation were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between postoperative CSA/AI and postoperative functional recovery. Results:The CSA and AI of ER group were insignificantly different among all follow-up point ( P>0.05), the CSA and AI of EN group were significantly different among all follow-up point ( F=14.163, P<0.001; F=4.635, P<0.001). The re-tear rates at 6-month, 1-year, 2-year and 3-year after operation were 3.6%, 7.3%, 12.7%, 18.2%. The Constant-Murley score and UCLA scores of ER group at 3-year after operation were 93.60±2.84 and 32.30±1.49, respectively while in EN group, they were 92.11±4.10 and 33.18±1.27, respectively, there were no difference of the Constant-Murley score and UCLA score between ER and EN group at 3-year after operation ( P>0.05). CSA at 1-day after operation was the risk factor to re-tear at 1-year, 2-year and 3-year after operation [ OR=4.622, 95% CI (1.01, 21.06), P=0.048; OR=7.071, 95% CI (1.52, 32.87), P=0.013; OR=3.40, 95% CI (1.42, 8.12), P=0.006]. CSA and AI at 1-day after operation had certain predictive efficacy for rotator cuff re-tear at 3-year after rehabilitation, and CSA was more specific than AI, the optimal cutoff values of CSA and AI at 1-day after operation for predicting rotator cuff re-tear at 3-year after operation were 35.3°and 0.69, the AUC were 0.87 [ OR=3.40, 95% CI (1.42, 8.12), P<0.001]、0.77 [ OR=1.33, 95% CI (0.87, 2.02), P=0.008] respectively. CSA and AI had no relationship with postoperative functional recovery. Conclusion:Greater CSA and AI were predictive factors of small and medium-sized rotator cuff re-tear 1-3 years after surgery with CSA being more specific than AI. However, CSA and AI had no relationship with postoperative functional recovery.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between anatomical features of shoulder joint and postoperative stiffness after rotator cuff repair.Methods:212 patients diagnosed with rotator cuff injury undergoing rotator cuff repair in Civil Aviation General Hospital from March 2016 to December 2021 were enrolled. There were 97 male and 115 female with an average age of 58.87±9.69 years old (range, 41-72). The patients were divided into stiffness group (SG) and non-stiffness group (NG) according to the range of shoulder joint motion at 3-month after operation. Preoperative and postoperative joint anatomical features including critical shoulder angle (CSA), acromial index (AI), lateral acromion angle (LAA) were measured and calculated through CT scan and 3-dimension reconstruction. Age, sex, course of disease, body mass index, tendon fatty infiltration degree, type of rotator cuff injury according to DeOrio & Cofield classification, suture method, and preoperative and 3-month postoperative range of shoulder motion (flexion, abduction, and external rotation), preoperative stiffness condition were collected. All factors between two groups were compared, and binomial logistic regression analysis was performed to find out the risk factors of postoperative joint stiffness. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to evaluate the predictive efficacy of postoperative CSA, AI, and LAA for postoperative joint stiffness.Results:43 patients were enrolled in SG and 169 patients were enrolled in NG. Age, sex, course of disease, body mass index, tendon fatty infiltration degree, type of rotator cuff injury according to DeOrio & Cofield classification, suture method, and preoperative range of shoulder motion (flexion, abduction, and external rotation) between two groups were insignificantly different ( P>0.05). The ratio of patients with preoperative stiffness in SG is higher than that in NG (χ 2=40.38, P<0.001). Postoperative CSA and AI of SG were greater than those of NG ( t=5.44, P<0.001; t=4.89, P<0.001), and postoperative LAA of SG was smaller than that of NG group ( t=-5.86, P<0.001). Preoperative stiffness, large postoperative AI and small postoperative LAA were all risk factors of joint stiffness after rotator cuff suture [ OR=9.32, 95% CI(3.44, 25.27), P<0.001; OR=2.39, 95% CI(1.58, 3.62), P<0.001; OR=0.64, 95% CI(0.46, 0.91), P=0.012]. Postoperative CSA, AI and LAA had a certain predictive effect on postoperative joint stiffness (AUC>0.70). LAA was the most sensitive factor and CSA was the most specific factor. The optimal cutoff values of CSA, AI and LAA were 34.4°, 0.70 and 74.5° respectively, and the AUC for predicting postoperative joint stiffness were 0.76 [ OR=0.98, 95% CI(0.69, 0.84), P<0.001]、0.78[ OR=2.39, 95% CI(0.70, 0.84), P<0.001]、0.76[ OR=0.64, 95% CI(0.68, 0.83), P<0.001]. Conclusion:Postoperative CSA, AI and LAA had predictive efficacy on joint stiffness after rotator cuff repair. The greater postoperative CSA and AI or smaller postoperative LAA indicates increased risk of postoperative joint stiffness. LAA was the most sensitive factor and CSA was the most specific factor.

Objective:To study the clinical results of robot-assisted laparoscopic resection for choledochal cysts.Methods:From October 2020 to June 2022, clinical data on 20 patients who underwent choledochal da Vinci robot-assisted laparoscopic choledochal cyst resection at Fujian Provincial Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Forty-two children with choledochal cysts were included in this study. There were 16 males and 26 females, aged 25 (range 15.0 to 45.0) months. The operations were carried out by the same team of surgeons. These patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical methods: children who underwent da Vinci robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery were in the robotic group ( n=20) and children who underwent single-port (transumbilical) laparoscopic surgery were in the laparoscopic group ( n=22). The general clinical data, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fasting time, hospital stay, total medical costs and complications were collectd and analysed. Follow-up was performed in outpatient visits. Results:Both the 2 groups underwent surgery successfully, and no patient was converted to laparotomy. When compared with the laparoscopic group, intraoperative blood loss [(10.65±3.75) vs. (14.86±3.75) ml], indwelling time of abdominal drainage tube [(5.45±2.21) vs. (7.05±1.94) d] and fasting time [(4.00±1.49) vs. (6.05±1.43) d] in the robotic group were significantly less, while the operation time [394(299, 422) vs. 351(269, 380) min] and hospitalization cost [(79 200±4 000) vs. (31 100±3 000) yuan] were significantly increased (all P<0.05). The differences in postoperative complication rates and pain score between the two groups showed no significant differences (all P>0.05). On follow-up, no patients developed complications such as cholangitis, jaundice, intestinal obstruction and cholangiocarcinoma, except for one patient in the laparoscopic group who developed cholangitis after surgery. Conclusion:Robot-assisted laparoscopic choledochal cystectomy was effective and safe in treatment of children with choledochal cysts.

Objective:To investigate the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic adhesiolysis on patients with primary frozen shoulder and its effect on shoulder joint function.Methods:The clinical data of 54 patients with primary frozen shoulder who visited Civil Aviation General Hospital from March 2017 to July 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. According to different treatment regimens, the patients were divided into a study group and a control group, with 27 patients in each group, there were 11 males and 43 females, aged (47.6±3.4) years, and the age ranged from 41 to 64 years. Patients in the control group were treated with conventional conservative treatment measures, and patients in the study group were treated with loose adhesion under arthroscope on the basis of the control group. The shoulder joint activity (range of motion angles for flexion, abduction and lateral rotation), Constant score, UCLA score and VAS score as well as the complications of the two groups were compared. The measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( Mean± SD), the t test was used for comparison between groups. The count data were expressed as percentage and the chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. Results:In the study group, postoperative anterior flexion, abduction, lateral external rotation were (160.2±20.7)°, (163.6±20.1)°, (50.5±8.9)°, respectively. The patients in the control group experienced (119.5±19.5)° of anterior flexion, (121.2±19.5)° of abduction, (35.6±6.4)° of lateral external rotation. After treatment, the activity of the shoulder joint in the study group was significantly better than that in the control group, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups( P<0.05). In the study group, the postoperative Constant score was (83.1± 9.3) scores, VAS score was (2.8±0.3) scores, UCLA score was (31.7±3.1) scores; in the control group, the postoperative Constant score was (71.7±9.7) scores, VAS score was (4.4±0.3) scores, UCLA score was (22.8±3.6) scores ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the Constant score and UCLA score in the study group were significantly higher, and the VAS score was significantly lower, differences were statistically significant( P<0.05). The difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:For patients with primary frozen shoulder, arthroscopic adhesiolysis can significantly improve the shoulder function of patients. At the same time, this operation has significant clinical treatment effect, which is conducive to the clinical application and promotion.
