Functional Outcome of Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair-A Clinical Study
Journal Title: Journal of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Background: Rotator cuff tear is among the most common condition affecting shoulder. The spectrum ranges from inflammation to massive tear. The goal of repair is to eliminate pain and improve function. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair has been shown to be better than open rotator cuff repair. Patient and Methods: From October 2015 to April 2017, 30 patients were selected to undergo arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. All patients were examined clinically and neurologically with history taking. Plain radiography and MRI were done for all patients. All operations were done under general anesthesia under lateral decubitus position. Evaluation of results of this study is based on the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon Score and Range of motion. Secondary outcome measures included a Visual Analogue Scale for pain. Results: At the end of two years follow up, the average UCLA score was improved from preoperative score of 11.73 to postoperative score of 29.57. The average abduction was improved from 76 degrees preoperatively to 148 degrees postoperative. Secondary outcome measures showed that average Visual Analogue Scale for pain was worst possible pain preoperatively to no pain at all postoperatively at the end of the follow up period. Conclusion: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a procedure with good post-operative functional outcome and low complications rate based on a short term follow-up.
