Abstract

Purpose: We evaluate the short-term clinical outcome of arthroscopic rotator cuff tendon repair with suture-bridge technique in patients with full thickness rotator cuff tear. Materials and Methods: 29 (male:17, female:12) consecutive shoulders treated with this index procedure and early rehabilitation were enrolled. Mean age was 56.4 years (range, 34~73 years) and mean follow-up period was 13 months (range, 12-15 months). Clinical outcomes were evaluated by using the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score, the Korean Shoulder Scoring System (KSS) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Postoperative cuff integrity was evaluated through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and categorized by Sugaya classification. Results: Postoperative UCLA scores improved from 16.4 to 31.6 (p< 0.05) and KSS scores showed 88 at 6 months and 92 at last follow up. Preoperative VAS score was 8.6, which was decreased to 2.1 at 3 months and 1.4 at 6 months postoperatively. 28 patients (96.5%) had increase in range of motion. The follow up MRI was taken in 15 shoulders and the cuff integrity was type I in 6 cases, type II in 7, type III in 1 and type V in 1 by Sugaya classification. Conclusion: Arthroscopic suture-bridge technique resulted in good or excellent clinical outcome in 96.5% of the cases, so we think this technique is one of the reliable procedure for full-thicknes rotator cuff tear.

목적: 회전근 개 건 전층 파열 시 관절경적 교량형 봉합술 시행 후 단기 추시 관찰을 통해 이 술식의 임상적 결과에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 회전근 개 건 전층 파열로 관절경적 교량형 봉합술을 시행 받고 조기 재활을 시행한 29명 (남자:17명, 여자:12명)의 환자를 대상으로 시행하였다. 평균 나이는 56.4세 (34~73세)였으며 추시 관찰 기간은 평균 13개월 (12~15개월)이었다. 임상적 및 기능적 평가로 The University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) score, The Korean Shoulder Scoring system (KSS) 및 Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score를 이용하였다. 15예에서 최종 추시시 자기 공명 영상을 촬영하여 Sugaya 분류를 통해 회전근 개의 구조적 상태를 분석하였다. 결과: 수술 후의 UCLA score는 수술 전과 수술 후 각각 16.4에서 31.6으로 측정되어 유의할만한 호전을 보였고 (p< 0.05), KSS는 수술 후 6개월에 88이었고, 최종 추시 시 92로 측정되었다. VAS score는 수술 전 8.6에서 수술 후 3개월에 2.1로, 수술 후 6개월에는 1.4로 나타났다. 28예 (96.5%)에서 수술 후 관절 운동 범위가 증가되었다. 추시 시 자기 공명 영상을 촬영한 15예에서 Sugaya 분류에 의해 I형이 6예, II형이 7예, III형이 1예, V형이 1예이었다. 결론: 회전근 개 건 전층 파열에 대한 관절경적 교량형 봉합술을 이용한 회전근 개 봉합술은 임상적으로 96.5%에서 양호 이상의 만족할 만한 결과를 보였으므로 믿을 만한 수술적 방법 중 하나라고 생각한다.
