Journal Title: Ortopedia Traumatologia Rehabilitacja - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 5
Abstract
Background. Rotator cuff tears have long been recognised as a cause of pain and disability. Over the past decades the treatment of rotator cuff tears has evolved from an open procedure to a mini-open procedure to an all-arthroscopic one. The indications and benefits of each of the procedures are still debated. The purpose of this study was to observe the results of “Mini-open repair rotator cuff tear”. Material and methods. This was a prospective study conducted in the postgraduate department of Orthopaedics Government Medical College, Srinagar, from March 2013 to January 2018 with cases followed up for a minimum of 3 years. This study included 50 patients of either sex with non-massive full thickness tears of rotator cuff. Results. The mean UCLA score improved from 10.96 preoperatively to 30.68 at final follow-up. Overall, 88% of the patients achieved excellent or good results and 92% were satisfied. No significant difference was noted in functional outcomes between traumatic and degenerative tears. Size of tear seems to be a determining factor in the functional outcome. Stiffness as a complication occurred in two patients. Conclusion. 1. Mini-open rotator cuff tear repair eliminated symptomatic full thickness rotator cuff tears with significant improvement in functional scores. 2. There were no major complications of the surgical procedure adopted or the fixation method used. 3. Mini-open rotator cuff repair remains a useful technique despite advances in arthroscopy.<br/><br/>
