Abstract

Purpose: To determine clinical results for arthroscopic repair of a full-thickness rotator cuff tear using a suture bridge technique. Materials and Methods: Between November, 2007 and October, 2008, we evaluated 90 cases of arthroscopic middle, large rotator tear cuff repair. The mean follow-up period was 15 months (range, 12-23 months). Forty-three cases had medium-sized tears; 47 cases had large-sized tears. At the preoperative stage and again at last follow-up, functional results were assessed by the KSS, ASES, UCLA and the PVAS (Pain visual analogue score). Results: Pain score improved from 2.56 preoperatively to 0.96 at final follow-up; movement scores improved from 6.94 to 1.70. At. final follow-up, the average UCLA score improved from 17.08 to 31.17 with 31 excellent (34%), 49 good (54%) and 10 poor results (12%). The final UCLA score was 31.47 in the group less than 60 years of age and 30.69 in the group over 61 years of age (p=0.344). The UCLA score was 31.23 in those with medium-sized tears and 31.11 in those with large-sized tears (p=0.924). The UCLA score was 31.10 in non-trauma patients and 31.23 in trauma patients (p=0.929). Conclusion: Arthroscopic repair of a full-thickness rotator cuff tear using a suture bridge technique can produce excellent clinical results. These outcomes are not affected by age or trauma history.

목적: 회전근 개 전층 중파열, 대파열 환자에 대하여 관절경적 교량형 봉합 술식을 시행한 후 임상 결과를 분석 보고하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2007년 11월부터 2008년 10월까지 회전근 개 전층 중파열, 대파열을 관절경적 교량형 봉합 술식으로 치료받은 90예를 대상으로 하였고, 평균 추시 기간은 15개월 (12~23개월)이었다. 파열의 크기는 중파열이 43예, 대파열이 47예였다. 술 전 및 최종 추시 시 KSS, ASES, UCLA, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)를 이용한 기능평가를 시행하였다. 결과: 휴식 및 운동 시 평균 VAS 점수는 각각 수술 전 2.56, 6.94에서 최종 추시 시 0.96, 1.70으로 현저한 감소를 보였다. UCLA 점수는 수술 전 평균 17.08점에서 최종 추시 시 31.17점으로 향상되었으며, 최우수가 31예 (34%), 양호가 49예 (54%), 불량이 10예 (12%)였다. 최종 추시 시 60세 이하인 경우 31.47점, 61세 이상인 경우 30.69점이었으며 (p=0.344), 중파열인 경우 31.23점, 대파열인 경우 31.11점이었고 (p=0.924), 비외상군이 31.10점, 외상군이 31.23점이었다 (p=0.929). 결론: 회전근 개 전층 중파열, 대파열 환자에서 관절경적 교량형 봉합 술식을 시행하여 동통의 감소 및 견관절 기능 향상의 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있어 믿을만한 수술적 방법 중 하나라고 생각한다. 수술 당시 연령, 외상력 유무는 치료 결과에 큰 영향을 주지 않았다.
