Arthroscopically-assisted rotator-cuff repair.
نویسنده
چکیده
We reviewed 44 patients with 44 full-thickness rotator-cuff tears at an average of 4.2 years after arthroscopically-assisted repair. There were 25 women and 19 men aged between 35 and 76 years (average 58); 35% of the shoulders had other intra-articular lesions. Most of the patients (85%) had been discharged from hospital immediately after the operation. The result was rated good or excellent in 84%, 88% of the patients were satisfied, and 64% of the athletes returned to their previous sports. The size of the tear was a determining factor in the outcome.

BACKGROUND Rotator-cuff surgery is well recognized to be a painful procedure. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of an arthroscopically placed perineural catheter at the scapular notch to provide a continuous block of the suprascapular nerve (continuous arthroscopically assisted suprascapular nerve block [ca-SSNB]) following arthroscopic rotator-cuff repair ...

Ultrasound is gradually achieving more acceptance by orthopaedic surgeons as a diagnostic imaging tool for rotator cuff and biceps tendon pathology. Two hundred and ten patients with arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs were examined clinically and with ultrasound at early (3 weeks) and late follow-up (average 22 months; range: 12 to 49). A high correlation between clinically intact cuffs and sono...
متن کاملPreliminary Results of a Consecutive Series of Large & Massive Rotator Cuff Tears Treated with Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repairs Augmented with Extracellular Matrix
Background: Recurrence rate of rotator cuff tears is still high despite the improvements of surgical techniques, materials used and a better knowledge of the healing process of the rotator cuff tendons. Large to massive rotator cuff tears are particularly associated with a high failure rate, especially in elderly. Augmentation of rotator cuff repairs with extracellular matrix or synthetic patc...
متن کاملRotator Cuff Repair Outcomes: Arthroscopy vs Open Surgery
Rotator cuff tears are a common cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction that affect all kinds of people, from sedentary individuals to elite athletes. Surgical repair of rotator cuff tears aims to re-establish the shoulder’s normal anatomical structure with restoration of pain-free motion, strength, and function. Rotator cuff repair (RCR) has evolved from an all-open procedure to an arthroscopic...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare the results of arthroscopically guided suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) and blinded axillary nerve block with those of blinded SSNB in terms of postoperative pain and satisfaction within the first 48 hours after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. METHODS Forty patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair for medium-sized full thick...
