Abstract

Purpose: Our goal for this study was to prospectively evaluate the functional & structural outcomes, by means of CT arthroscopy, of arthroscopic double-row fixation for treating rotator cuff tear. We also attempted to determine the variants that affect the functional & structural outcomes. Materials and Methods: Twenty seven consecutive patients underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with double-row fixation. The average age at the time of the operation was fifty six years. The preoperative and postoperative examinations consisted of determining the Constant score, the score for the visual analogue scale for pain, the UCLA score, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, as well as a full physical examination of the shoulder. Preoperative MR arthrography was used to evaluate the integrity and atrophy of the rotator cuff. We measured the intraoperative tear size in the sagittal and coronal planes. Postoperative CT arthrography was used at one year postoperatively to evaluate the integrity and atrophy of the repaired tendons and muscles. Results: Preoperative MR arthrography revealed an average 29.22 mm tear size in the sagittal plane and an average 22.72 mm tear size in the coronal plane. Twelve cases of supraspinatus muscle atrophy and two cases of infraspinatus atrophy were observed on the preoperative MR arthrography. The average clinical outcome scores all significantly improved at the time of follow-up. At a mean of one year postoperatively, CT arthrography revealed 48.1% of the shoulders had healed, 11.1% showed incomplete healing and 40.7% showed retear of the repaired tendon. Conclusion: Arthroscopic double-row repair can result in improved clinical outcomes and good patient satisfaction. However, the problems about how to enhance healing of the repaired tendon still remain.

목적: 관절경적 회전근개 복원술의 임상 결과는 관혈적 복원술의 결과에 비견될 만큼 우수하다는 많은 연구들이 보고되고 있다. 그러나 복원된 건의 치유 상태에 대한 연구는 아직도 부족한 편이다. 본 연구에서는 관절경적 2열 고정술 후의 임상 결과와 건의 치유 상태를 전산화 단층 촬영 조영술을 이용하여 분석하였으며, 이러한 임상 결과와 건의 치유상태에 영향을 미치는 변수를 알아 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 관절경적 2열 고정술을 이용하여 회전근개 복원술을 시행받고 최소 1년 이상의 추시 관찰을 받은 환자 중 건의 치유 상태 확인을 위해 전산화 단층 촬영 조영술을 시행한 27명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 평균 연령은 57세였으며 남자 11명, 여자 16명이었다. 술 전 및 술 후 1년에 동통 점수, 관절 운동 범위, 전방거상력, 이환 기간, 그리고 여러 종류의 임상 점수를 측정하였으며, 수술 중 파열의 시상면 및 관상면의 크기, 이환 건의 범위를 측정하였다. 술 전 자기공명 영상 관절 조영술, 술 후에는 전산화 단층 촬영 관절 조영술에서 극상근 및 극하근의 위축정도를 분석하였으며 건의 연속성을 통한 건 치유 상태를 분석하였다. 건의 치유 상태는 치유, 재파열, 그리고 건의 연속성은 있으나 부분적인 조영제 침투가 보이는 불완전 치유의 3단계로 구분하였다. 또한 환자군을 전향적으로 추시하여 중, 장기적인 결과를 추시할 예정이다. 결과: 파열의 관상면 및 시상면 상 크기 중, 더 큰 것을 기준으로 파열의 크기를 분류하였고, 대상 환자 중 소파열이 1례, 중파열이 15례, 대파열 5례, 광범위 파열이 6례이었으며, 시상면에서의 평균 파열의 크기는 29.22 mm 이었다. 관상면에서의 크기는 평균 22.72 mm 이었으며, 술전 극상근 위축이 12례에서, 극하근 위축은 2례에서 관찰되었다. 술 후 1년에 동통 점수, 관절 운동 범위, 전방 거상력, 그리고 임상 점수는 모두 의미있게 호전되었으며 술 후 전체적인 환자 만족도는 80.38점이었다. 건의 치유 상태는 치유가 48.2%, 불완전 치유가 11.1%, 재파열이 40.7%이었으며, 근위축은 극상근이 8례, 극하근이 1례로 술 전에 비하여 약간의 호전을 보였다. 결론: 2열 고정술을 이용한 관절경적 회전근개 복원술은 양호한 임상 결과를 보였으며 전체적인 환자 만족도 또한 높았다. 그러나 건이 완전 치유된 경우가 48.2%로 비교적 낮아 이에 대한 연구가 더 필요하리라 사료된다.
